Well, i am a student at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY that had the football team cut from the athletic program and instead had a swim team and a few other sports put in the program in its place. One day as i was working out in the gym this past september, the coach of the swim team saw me working out and asked me if i wanted to swim. He needed numbers more than anything since the collegiate competitive requirements are 11 participants a team. Mind you i am 5'7", 185 lbs, broad chest and shoulders with large legs. A running back figure. I have never swam before and i agreed to be on the swim team. The coach wants me to swim the 50 and 100 free and i like that for it is a fast twitch race more than slow twitch, and since i am a senior i don't really have time to increase my endurance and slow twitch. I was wondering if any of you had advice for me in my endeavour to become an excellent swimmer by february 2004, and hopefully win an event at the MAAC nationals. In my first meet on Oct. 11, i swam a 27.88 in the 50 free at Duquesne. If you couldn't tell by my hunting for a discussion ring and post, i am very intense and competitive, and am taking this very seriously. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and hope to have some replies soon!

Yeah, times are around 22.5 to 21.5 with the record at 21.09 i think. I am doing two a days with my team, but if you are offering your services, i currently don't have a job and wouldn't be able to afford to pay you. But i thank you. Or if you would like to just see me swim and maybe give me some advice, that would be great. I have done some research within the usms website and read up on FQS, counting strokes, and keeping your head attached to your spine. I think these things will help tremendously if i can get them employed in my form and technique. thanks for your interest and support!
