By the time I was 11 and 12, I know I had all strokes under 30 seconds except the breaststroke (I was so slow in the breaststroke).

I was modest in swimming ability despite having devoted too much time.
By high school, my fifty times were 22 in free, 23.7 in fly, 27 in back and something horrible in breast (30 maybe). Again we had sophomores who later became AA beating me. Nowadays if I break 30 for fifty free or fly I'm ecstatic. At least in pushing off the wall.
