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!!!

All you can do is
1) get in a great program
2) perfect your technique and train as hard as you can in each practice and
3) let your times be what they are
use several swim faster faster ideas like
Perfect your technique and
Act as if / last battle on earth
good luck,

Is it realistic to hope to drop 2 seconds a week? I found out that I need to drop about 20 seconds this summer. Any ideas on things other than swimming that will help make me faster i.e. weights, cross-training, etc. I'm joining a team so I know that once my technique is fixed that will also help, but I need to do everything possible. Thanx a bundle!!
