Your times are great for just starting swimming 6 months ago. It looks like you could be a sprinter because a 24 low in the 50 is relatively faster than a 517 in the 500. It's hard to say for sure though. because most people appear to be swimmers when they first start. This is because there is simply less time for there stroke and turns to fall apart.
