As a petite female in her upper 30's is there anything I can do to overcome my height limitation when it comes to competitive swimming?
I stand at 5ft. 2 1/2 inches and know that I'm at a disadvantage purely based on my height alone. Are there certain events that would be better geared towards the petite swimmer than other events?
1:01.91 in the 100 free.
1:04.92 in the 100 fly.
1:11.15 in 100 ***.
1:13.13 in the 100 back.
1:04.98 in the 100IM.
This kid is a lot like me, fly almost as fast as free. As a 18 year old I did a 1:03.8 100 yard free and a 1:05.8 butterfly. My best breaststroke was at age 14 about a month before I turn 15 at 1:16.1 and my back which was terrible best was about 1:17 at 14 but as an 18 year old it was about 1:22 to 1:24, terrible the speed of lots of folks breaststroke.
