I learn the four strokes as a kid. But what is it like for you that learned it as adults. I was amazed that some adults are like age groupers better at some strokes than others.
Hi Dorothy,
There will be a real push to get Illinois Masters swimmers to go to Indy. (But in a friendly way. :) ) A big crowd means more relays (up to four, which don't count against your 3-6 individual events), better team spirit, and hopefully more loot! (It would be nice to get banners for placing in the team categories...)
I don't know, the times still look really hard. I did swim a 35 high in the 50 free last summer in long course and I know the next age group is a 34. But that is still 3 years away.
I also cannot afford to be attending meets all over the place. My kids swim and we travel a lot for that, so to add me traveling is crazy, so this winter I will probably only do 2 meets, one this month and one in March.
Nationals being in Indy in the spring does make it attractive to go. I have a friend who is trying to get me to go regardless of whether I have times, and I may just to see what it is like. April is a slow time for age group swimmers except National level, and my 15 year old boy is not quite there yet, needs to grow.
