Hi, I'm a high school swimmer currently in sophomore year and started swim last February/March. I am currently 6'0" and weigh about 138 pounds. I am currently on a club swim team separate from high school swimming and have a lot of ambition and dedication to swim. I've started swim with around 38 second 50 free (scy) at the start of my swimming career and currently have a 26.9 second 50 free, which i've reached recently, but the meet I swam in felt like I could've went faster. My seed time for the meet was 29.5, and had around a 3 second drop. During this meet, I think I probably breathed maybe around 5 times.
Personally, I think that I'm a fast kicker. Usually in practice, if we are doing kick sets like 6x25 kick w/ kickboard, I can usually make it around 16 seconds with about 80% effort. But my arms are really floppy, and get tired really easily when im doing main sets in swim practice. I usually swim really fast compared to other kids with gears like pulling gear or fins, but lack a lot comparing how fast I go with the gear.
There's a time trial meet for school about a month later and I'm trying to drop as much time as possible, possibly around 1.5 seconds at least. Are there any secrets, ways to reach that goal?
Thanks:)
