Answer 1

Did you just start swimming?  I&#039;m younger than you and I started swimming when I was basically five...  IT&#039;s normal for you to start at that age though!

Answer 2

That&#039;s not a bad time at all (I wasn&#039;t much faster at back stroke (50 yard) when I was a freshman).....keep it up and you&#039;ll keep getting your time down! Have fun too.....swim team was some of the best memories I have from school.

Answer 3

no time is bad if your just beginning

Answer 4

it&#039;s a great time don&#039;t worry your times will get better

Answer 5

well, if u do good who cares if u just started

Answer 6

i started swimming at the same age in seventh grade.

my first 50 back was 50 seconds and the second one was 45.

so you are doing pretty good for just swimming a month.

Answer 7

its not the fastest time ever...but you are a beginner just learning the srokes so you are off to a good start. I started swimming when i was 15 but i had previous summer swm team experience from when i was little and i have seen major improvement in myself and dropping 6 secs is really good. so keep up the good work and you will be flying through the water in no time!

Answer 8

OMG Don&#039;t worry!

I started when I was 11! I absolutely love the sport and I would really like yo make it to the olympics ones day, even though most of my friends started when they were like 3. Haha the good thing about first starting though is that you srop time REALLY easily, so GOOD luck! If you have motivation (like myself) you can definitely improve!

Answer 9

That&#039;s a good time. I just started swimming when  I was five or six, and so I was sort of fast and my breaststroke time at the end of the swimming season for the 50m was 45.?? seconds. You&#039;re doing very well. Keep it up!!
