My goals for 2015, any advice?

Hi Goals are just targets. They specify your desire, your intentions, and the ability you hope to develop from training. What matters are: 1) your starting point (your current ability), do fast swims for time. write them down and retest from time to time. 2) your technique (Are you making any errors?) 3) your training: How many times a week? How many meters in each practice? what kind of sets are you doing? Are you training alone or with a group? Are you coached? 4) what suit do you wear in races? Tech suits make a difference. Don't train in them, but get a good suit for your meets, races, and occasional fast practice swims for time. here's some info that might help you: forums.usms.org/showthread.php forums.usms.org/showthread.php
