I'm swimmer in high school (junior) and I would like to get your thoughts. I have been swimming since my freshman year and I now swim a :57.45 in the 100 free and a 26.21 in the 50. I kind of slacked my freshman and sophomore years but now I actually care. I'm going to be swimming hard in the offseason and I now am working out and I was wondering how fast I could be by swim season next year? I would LOVE to be on our top 400 free relay which has a time of 3:23. Do you think that it is possible for me to get my time in my 100 down to a :51/:50 by next year? I'll have about 9 - 10 months. Any thoughts?

Anything is possible if you really want it. My first year swimming in hs I went 1:30 in the 100 free at my first meet... 2 months later I went :56. One year later I went 52 leading off the 400 free relay. If you haven't given it all up to this point, then you definitely have some on the table. get some video of your race and post it here or in ask ande and maybe we can give you some pointers that will help sooner.
