  • If you never swam competitavely you will see huge improvements at first, mainly because of starting point. Then, once improvements have dissappeared consider 0.25 seconds a major breakthrough Let's say it was near the end of a workout and you got rest, then I would say 27.5 off the blocks with a taper. I swim within 1.5 sec of my race time with a push, unshven, unrested, etc. But during a race just prior to my event I'm a nervous wreck. But a 27.5 50 would make my day, even a 28.5, or a 29.2.
