Need to get faster

Hi There, I recently asked a female friend what she could do 100m in, expecting to be maybe ten secs behind as she is what I would term a good swimmer. Unfortunetly my 1.40 paled when compared with her 1.15. I consoled myself with the knowledge that I have only been swimming 1 year and I have been mainly TI drilling concentrating on Technique. Now it is time for speed. I have started to compete in sprint tri's so I am looking to get around the 6min mark for 400m. I have can swim most days and my local pool is 33m in length. Can anyone show me the way? Thanks for your time Dec

    Don't worry about it. I use to swim in a 33 yard pool for meets way back iun 1969. 33 meter pools are kind of rarely since they are more likely an older pool. I have poor times in freestyle in practice, a 1:42 time and I one did a 1:48 *** in a 100 yards. I swam a race 100 meter *** at 1:53.10 last year in long course. As a kid I swam a 1:30 and a 100 meter freestyle one at 1:11. Being middle age and weighting a lot more with larger breasts means I have more water resistant and my conditioning isn't what it use to be.
