I am hoping to drop some time this summer by joining a summer swim program, which by the way...if anyone knows of good programs I'm still looking :) , but hopefully in Texas. Overall I need my times to go down about 30 to 40 seconds but I realize that is not going to happen in one summer. How much is a realistic goal to drop in one summer? I was hoping that maybe 10 to 20 seconds would be nice, or is that too much? Thanx a bunch!!!

It's hard for most folks to know what to write
with out being able to see you and understand exactly
where you are,
what you've done so far,
what kind of training you're doing
Improvements come from the following areas
Improve your
1) conditioning and fitness from consistently training hard over weeks and months
2) strength,
3) swimming technique, and
4) body weight and shape.
If you're over your idea weight,
losing weight can help you swim faster
5) mental factors like
motivation, psych, pain tolerance, correct splitting
I can also promise you if you
get a great coach and
train in a great program
with fast swimmers and
train very hard at least 5 or 6 times a week and
hopefully more like 8 - 10 times a week
you're extremely likely to significantly improve
