For those who swim more than one stroke, do the differences in these times seem about average? 50 yards from a push: Freestyle - :33/34 Backstroke - :37 Breaststroke - :46/47 Butterfly - :35 Any feedback is appreciated!
  • Heh. Mine look crazy. I must not be a freestyler comparatively. Which I guess I kinda already knew. Free 1.00 Back 1.08 Fly 1.04 *** 1.23 Thread resurrection! I ran these numbers again with my SCY times from this past season as I did all the 50s tapered in one form or another. Let's see where I sit now... 50 Fr 21.25 (ratio 1.00 duh) 50 Bk 24.35 (ratio 1.15) 50 Fl 23.32 (ratio 1.10) 50 Br 26.77 (ratio 1.26) Looks like I figured out my 50 free a bit more, but I still skew a little more toward strokes than freestyle.

You look like an IMer to me!
