Hey JC,
When you said, " . . . and to learn better technique and stuff like that, " you are on the right track. No one here will argue much that swimming is technique, technique, technique. Besides, there are many threads on this forum have discussed this in the past and will continue to do so in the future. If you find something that works better for you, let us know about it. What you might have learned might help someone else out, too. There's no doubt that you are "up there with everybody."
Your school's pool sounds like a busy place, which is great. Swimming has taken a back seat in high schools in this area.
You need not apologize for posting here. 99.44% of us here do realize that you "are the future," hence the support you have received. (It's the .66% who needs to live with it!) :D To quote a famous philosopher below (Tom Ellison) . . . "As to your swimming, you’re on the right track by setting goals for yourself. Keep focused on the long haul and always remember that what you put into the water today, will be akin to putting money in the bank for tomorrow. The deposit you put in the pool each day at practice is the check you get to cash in a meet in the future….GO for it kid…and give it your all!" And like I said before, Tom means very much what he says.
Later.
