https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/3148/swimming-weight-speeding-up-etcAn update... About a year and a half or so ago is when I first started to swim, masters, or any other kind of competetive swimming. I never swam competetively or had any athletic training as a kid, actually spent that time being rather overweight anden-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/26345?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 28 Apr 2005 15:35:22 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d7d92d5c-ec8f-405f-9298-5a29bff1c647Former MemberConnie - you ROCK! (clapping hands) - I am so proud of you. I have to tell you, since I lost 25 pounds two years ago, my times have really been affected. Keep up the amazing work.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/26388?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 28 Apr 2005 12:44:01 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a4262b33-154b-46d0-b2b9-fdd906df2e5dfatboyConnie, Great Job!

Keep shaving your times, Connie, that is the best feeling ever when you know you got faster!!!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/26454?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 28 Apr 2005 02:57:21 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:edeea068-d4b7-44db-8900-68ed6e8e81c8dorothyrdeConnie, that is absolutely awesome.
