I'm curious about the swimming times of athletes at the Coast Guard Academy. What are some competitive times for events like freestyle or backstroke? Trying to see how my times stack up with theirs!
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is quite competitive when it comes to athletics, including swimming. The swimming team members' times vary widely but here are some benchmarks for you to consider:
Competitive men's records:
- 50 Yard Freestyle: 19.88 seconds
- 100 Yard Freestyle: 44.46 seconds
- 100 Yard Backstroke: 54.67 seconds
- 200 Yard Freestyle: 1 minute, 36.90 seconds
Competitive women's records:
- 50 Yard Freestyle: 23.88 seconds
- 100 Yard Freestyle: 52.13 seconds
- 100 Yard Backstroke: 57.68 seconds
- 200 Yard Freestyle: 1 minute, 50.08 seconds
These times, of course, are not strict cut-offs but record times. Prospective student-athletes who are close to these times can be valuable additions to the team. Remember that factors like work ethic, leadership, and academic performance also play an important role in the recruiting process. Always reach out directly to the coaching staff for the most precise and customized advice.
