Answer 1

That is awesome... Although it is not outstanding you are doing well. Keep up the good work.

Answer 2

That is a fast time, not a superstar, but just about. My high school team has a girl that goes 1:02, and she is 16.  Keep swimming and you'll probably win at most meets.

Answer 3

You're not too bad at it, but you're not great. You'd be able to go to districts, but would struggle there and probably not make it on to states (at least here in Pennsylvania). A good time in the 100 backstroke for girls is around 1:03 or lower.

Answer 4

I bet your coach expects great things from you.

1:02 is my COLLEGE'S 100 backstroke record (womens). Obviously your very gifted, so keep up the work.

By all means you are very quick, especially for your age. Though your on the boarder of being great or being a legend. Keep up the hard work and I'm sure you'll be better than natalie coughlin tough. (P.S. her record for 100 back in college is a 49 point)

Answer 5

Not too shabby!  Congrats on making your J.O cuts though

:-)    When I was 12 and considered a freak of nature I went a 1:00 in the 100 and a 2:12 in the 200 (stamina stank).

Your 100 time is right on pace for your age group, and if you work on your stamina I bet you could get down to a 2:15ish.  Try focusing on getting your sectional cuts as a long term goal, I'd say by 15 you should totally be able to achieve those times!

Answer 6

your pretty good. i've been on swim team since 2nd grade and now im in 6th grade. im 12 and my time for 200 yard backstrock was 0:57:14

so yeah your pretty good!

Answer 7

yeah thats pretty good..

Answer 8

You are a girl, judging by your avatar, so with those times, you rock!!

Answer 9

you are not bad, but you do have a lot of work ahead of you and a long way to go before you can be considered good.

you show a lot of promise in the 200 back.

hopefully you can get down to 0:58 in the 100 back and 202.00 in the 200 back by the time you are 16.

Answer 10
