It would depend what event of 100 meters is being swum, if it is 100m freestyle, then I would say around a 1:00 to 1:10, same thing going for butterfly, and maybe only 5 or 10 seconds more for backstroke. For 100m breaststroke, a good time could be around 1:25 to 1:40, since breaststroke really varies between people, as well as being a slower stroke than other strokes. Lastly, if the event is the 100m IM (Individual Medley), a good time would be somewhere near the swimmer's "prime stroke" time (their best stroke that is not freestyle). This could be anywhere from 1:00 to 1:30, which is pretty fast for a meter race.

Any, they cannot officially achieve a backstroke time as the judges are not judging them on backstroke rules. If they want to do backstroke to find out what time they can achieve, they should do a backstroke start. In freestyle you can do what ever you want apart from touch the bottom of the pool or pull on the lane rope, so you can start however you want.
There is no 500 backstroke swimming event.
Men's 200 meter backstroke was not competed at the 1904 Games in St. Louis. The only backstroke event was a distance of 100 yards and it was won by Walter Brack of Germany in a time of 1:16.8.
my 50m backstroke was 32 seconds last season, id assume around 30 seconds now, and i swim a 1.10, so i dont know exactly what your time would be. Probably around 1.15 - 1.20 is a good guess
John Naber of the United States in a time of 55.49 seconds, at the time a world record. Naber won 5 medals (4 gold, 1 silver) at the 1976 Games in Montreal. He also won gold in 200 meter backstroke, 4x200 meter freestyle relay, and 4x100 meter medley relay. He won silver in 200 meter freestyle.
Most likely 18 seconds or slower.
I think anything under 30 seconds is pretty good.
Mine is a 27.32
30 seconds
My best time is 2:18.43 It's the backstroke that gets me.
1600 is not a recognised swimming event. 1500m is and world class times are just under 15 minutes, so 1600 meters would be about 16 miutes
