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 :-)))

In Feb 1955 my coach called me and told me I was selected to represent Canada in the Pan Am Games in Mexico, the selection was made on past performances. I started training but was swimming very badly, I could not get my time below one min. for 100 yards(stinko). I decided not to go but the next day at a time trial I did a 51 second 100 yards, so I changed my mind and went. It worked out fine I came second in the Pan Am games, just touched out in the 100 meters free by Clarke Scholes of the USA, the 1952 Olympic Champion.
Nine second drop overnight.
