I was always wondering how much time you can shave down in like, 1 year .It is very interesting to know some experiences you had, guys - i.e. what is the biggest time improvement you ever had in one year.Any stroke and distance are welcome :-)))
Biggest time drop was first year of high school swimming. I'd been age group swimming since 6, but that was the first time I'd done serious weight lifting/dryland exercises/high yardage/technique work. Improved my 500 time by 30 seconds before the first meet, during a practice. Ended up dropping another 30 seconds by the sectional meet.
For Masters, my 1650 time has improved by 30 seconds each year for the last 4 years, and could possibly drop another 30 sec this coming year.
