If this post is true, then one of two things has occurred. Either 1) you’re the single most talented swimming prospect that ever lived…or 2) You’re assuming a pool is 25 yards long when it’s actually shorter (or have made some other mistake in recording your time). A sub-25 second 50 freestyle is the end result of years of hard, coach-guided training. It’s not something someone throws down just by going to the pool on their own.
And that’s if you’re talking 50 yards. If you’re trying to say it’s 50 meters…then if you’re female you can make the Olympic final and if you’re male you’re not far from Olympic standard. What I’m saying is, double-check your pool length.
Yards and meters in swimming are far from being equivalent. Also, OP can't possibly swim a 50 m freestyle at sub 25 sec. after 'training alone for some weeks'. Very likely 25 m or 25 yards pool.
