Answer 1

This is an average time it is between BB and an A time.  When I swam I was an AA-AAA swimmer and went long periods of time undefeated won events at State meets ect.  To place in JO's you need a time of this caliber.  Also to go to meets like MIDS you need an AA qualifier.  When I swam competitively 20 yrs ago swimmers had a patch out jacket that was a really big deal on the East Coast.  You earned a patch for each class.  The jacket was a hoodie zip up.  I still have my patch out jacket that has over 60 patches on it.  You are close to that coveted A time 28.69.  Check out USA swimming motivational times short course to see where your other events are at.  Suggest going to B level meets, you will clean up!  I always did this when I could.  It means you have to have a B time or slower to enter.  Since you are close to an A you will be amongst the fastest there.

Answer 4

I am Senior who finished my last year of swimming and my top 50 time was 26.72 (although i am distance swimmer)

Answer 5

my gf used to go a 29 @ 13, but then her sister went a 28 @ 12...lol

Answer 6

well, that is a alrite time, but you wont medal at Aust. Age C'Ships. You will qualify, but you certainly won't make the finals. This goes for NSW State Age as well.

Answer 7

29 seconds is pretty good for 13 years old. I would set a mark for around 27.00 seconds for an end of the year time as a freshman in high school. That put you as probably one of the faster girls, on most teams. If you want some tips on how to go faster in the 50, just post another question and I'll probably see and answer it for you.
