That is a smoking second half for your 100! ;) Your mile time is appropriate for your 50 and 100 times, so you don't slow down any more than everyone else does.

Do people feel that they can learn a lot in a week to be able to change their swimming style permanently??
Three things I learned during age-group:
1) Less than ideal technique will have more immediate results, but will limit how far you can improve.
2) Doing the right stroke will take more work, but will let you go to your maximum potential.
3) When switching from "wrong" to "right" technique, you are going to get a lot slower before you get faster, as your body gets used to doing something different. But if you have the faith to stick with it, it will pay off in the long run.
