This morning, this typist set a personal best time in the pool with a 38.0-seconds time for 50-metre freestyle (short course).

The women’s world record was set by Inge de Bruijn of the Netherlands. She swam the 50-meter freestyle event in 24.13. The World Masters record for my age group is 27.31. My previous personal best was 39.8, recorded six months ago.

My coach informed me that my first 25 looked good. In the second 25 I was “spinning” which is a nice way of saying there was big splash in the pool with arms and legs and a head flailing, and a typist who finished the time trial with the words “Sweet mammy - take me home.”
