aight here is the deal, i have been swimming on and off for about 2 years, i didnt actually start training consistently until about 6 months ago and since then i only go 3 times a week and my workouts are 2500-3000 yds. before 6 months ago all i did was straight swims of a mile or so. right now i can swim about 6:55 for the 500 free. im in cross conutry still,which will be over in 3 weeks, so i cant swim more than 4 x a week. this is my senior year in high school and i want to qualify for regionals in the 500, i feel if i can qualify for that then ill be able to make states. qualifying time is 6:24, is it possible for me to make that time when i start upping my yardage a lot and swimming 5-6 x a week. im going to work really hard and do everything i can to get it.

Is this a girl's qualifying time it seems too slow for a guys time. I don't see why you can't make that time. As a senior in high school I decided to swim the 500 yard free instead of the *** which I'm better out in order to do something different. I drop from around 6:10 to 5:58. And free was my third stroke. I bet that you can do it from all the running and swimming you do. And you are in better shape than most girls that only swim on a team during the school year.
