Just out of curiosity...if all things being equal, how much could a person improve simply by losing weight. Is there a formula that could properly express this.
The numbers I'm working with are
6'3" my height
215 my current weight
23.4 my 50free scy time at nats last april
now my weight at nats was 215 after losing 20lbs over the season. I'm really paying attention to my diet and nutrition and trying to trim down another 10lbs.
Any thoughts???
Just out of curiosity...if all things being equal, how much could a person improve simply by losing weight. I've been beaten by many people both heavier and skinnier than me, but, almost assuredly, those who beat me have some combination of better technique + better training + better talent.
I do think this idea is warranted, for health, life, happiness and swimming faster, even moreso as we age ...

...will directly translate into better times for you in and of itself.
Focus on nutrition, focus on technique, focus on training and let the weight loss and speed be a by-product, not the goal.
