Arm recovery/stroke question

There's zero evidence that this is actually true. Jazz, We're just going to differ on this point. Alot of swimmers trained for everything and did longer events when they were younger. I am absolutely sure it helps. Jesse Vasallo still has the 13 14 boys 1500 m free record and he wound up breaking WRs in the 200 IM Tom Jager sometimes swam the 1650 when he was 13 14 & maybe 15 16 John Smith's son Clark, who's now 16 went 20.9 in the 50, 48.5 in the 100 fly, 4:32 in the 500 & 9:10 in the 1000. Missy Franklin can swim anything. so could Tracy Caulkins, she broke several WR's & American Records in every stroke. Jazz, my guess is at some point in your life you probably did some longer harder training which to this day enables you to lift and do a few short sprints for practice and still go fairly fast. It doesn't hurt to train hard and it helps to be good in many events. There aren't any short cuts. Ande
