The Sky is the Limit; USA swim is all-powerfulhttps://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/11505/the-sky-is-the-limit-usa-swim-is-all-powerfulOK, I&#39;m new to this site, but am obsessed with all of the talk about swimming and times and everything. I am 17 and just started my senior year of high school. It KILLS ME to see so much negativity about people&#39;s goals and what they want to do.

You know what, you&#39;re right! I have only just joined this forum, so I don&#39;t know too much about it. I really meant in general; people around my age especially doubt that they can drop .1 seconds in anything. It&#39;s frustrating to me that the &quot;kids&quot; who have the most potential to get faster don&#39;t believe they can. So sorry about that. Just wanted to share a story! And Ande, I read that guide a while back and shared it with my whole team! It&#39;s awesome!<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: The Sky is the Limit; USA swim is all-powerfulhttps://community.usms.org/thread/187782?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Sep 2013 08:15:26 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:f9b5184e-0666-4b7f-98e5-c5ae1354b4ffgobearsI don&#39;t see a lot of negativity about people&#39;s goals on this forum. Not sure where you are seeing this. This is a masters swimming forum (where most of us are decades older than you) and almost everyone here has been encouraging and upbeat for the many years I&#39;ve been lurking/posting. That said, good luck with your swimming!<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: The Sky is the Limit; USA swim is all-powerfulhttps://community.usms.org/thread/187814?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Sep 2013 03:20:28 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2680ff66-93a1-44f6-bd66-3a87af743f9fourswimmerI just wanted to share this and inspire someone. You CAN drop tons of time. Thanks! At 45 I am waiting impatiently for the next two-year period in my life during which I grow two inches and put on fifteen pounds of muscle mass. The last such growth spurt happened for me between the ages of 14 and 16, and I dropped about 5 seconds in the 100 back; so the next one has got to be just around the corner.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: The Sky is the Limit; USA swim is all-powerfulhttps://community.usms.org/thread/187805?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Sep 2013 02:13:37 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:92a9ea3d-de22-4a9b-899c-b0dd66153855Patrick W. BrundageOK, I&#39;m new to this site, but am obsessed with all of the talk about swimming and times and everything. I am 17 and just started my senior year of high school... Wish me luck for my senior year, or don&#39;t, it doesn&#39;t matter. Good luck. Crank it out, drop heaps of time and have fun doing it! I don&#39;t see a lot of negativity about people&#39;s goals on this forum. I wholeheartedly agree.
