Hey any help is appreciated. I currently go a 1:12:52 in my 100 *** and am trying to make make state cut which is about a 1:04. There's only 5 weeks left before sectionals and I was wondering first of all if you think if this is possible and second of all if it is what suggestions would you have to drop time. Thanks!

  • Hi I assume you're male. to give you a good answer we need more details about you and your training. "Is it possible to drop your 100 BR time from 1:12.52 to 1:04 in 5 weeks?" Maybe but honestly probably not. 1:12.52 to 1:04 a huge drop. The fastest way to drop time is to improve your technique. You get faster to the magnitude of the errors you correct. The technique you improve. Starts, Streamline, Dolphin kick, Pull outs, Breastroke swimming technique, the pull, the kick and timing of it all. TURNS and Touch. Improving technique is HARD. YOU must 1) identify what needs fixed, then 2) create replacement habits then 3) do your replacement habits every time in practice until they stick, by concentrating and doing it correctly, BUT if you quit focusing you'll immediately slip back into your old habits. The 2nd fastest way to drop time is to improve your vessel. Shave, wear a new tech suit jammer, wear a cap, The 3rd fastest way to drop time is to do speed work and taper. The 4th fastest way to drop time is to get stronger. To go 1:04 in the 100 ***, you MUST be able to break 30 seconds in a 50 *** and 13.7 seconds in a 25 *** stroke. what are your 25 & 50 times now? Here's Swim Faster Faster Tip 165 Build a Better Boat A Tech Suit can make a huge difference Hey any help is appreciated.
