I'm a practicing Muslim and Ramadan is coming up very soon so that means I'm gonna be fasting. And due to time constraints I can only swim at one very tiny pool that must be less than 12.5 meters. The problem is that I've worked hard on getting my times low and the championship meet I want to compete at lies the day after Ramadan ends. So I can compete, but I don't just want to compete I want to win. I'm a freestyle sprinter and I focus on the 50 free and 100 free with a little bit of phases on breastroke. The question is can I do it? In such a tiny little pool, I'll probably train using USRPT but I'm not even sure if the pool is 12.5 meters.. What can I do? I just need advice, I've worked my butt off just to get to this moment and my religion is in the way
Currently im on a bulk trying to put on weight and a lot of mass mainly odd looks/strength in the gym. Once I get pretty heavy I'm gonna cut down back to the weight I normally swim at but this time I'll have a lot more muscle mass and be much much much more lean and strong in the water and out. Considering I'm swimming like 40-45 pounds heavier then what I competed this whole year I don't expect ridiculously good times right now. Just slight gradual improvements. Once I'm done with the cutting phase those and back to my normal swimming weight in maybe 6 months time, I expect to be putting up some really good times.
40-45 pounds? Wow, now that sounds extreme. I've never heard of anyone in swimming doing something like that.
