Having kept swimming daily for almost one year and done some interval sets during the past 2 weeks, my cruise time is about 23-24 seconds per 25 yards. My goal is to refuce my cruise time to 20 seconds per 25 yards. I don't know if I can reach that goal or not.
I feel my techniche is not perfect, but pretty ok. I have poor kick, but kick is the hardest to improve. Maybe I can improve my condition, but how much I can improve? Will swimming condition make so much difference that I can reduce my cruise time from 23 seconds per 25 yards to 20 seconds? Or maybe 20 seconds per 25 yards is totally out of reach for some people whatever they try?
hello,
20 seconds per 25 yards IS totally out of reach for SOME people
but probably not for you.
Meaning you have the potential to swim at that pace.
BUT I'd need to know more about you and watch you swim before I offered a complete opinion.
Hopefully you're just making equipment and technique mistakes and when you correct them, you'll immediately swim faster.
Conditioning improvements take longer.
Most importantly
do you believe that
20 seconds per 25 yards IS
a. totally out of reach for you?
or
b. totally with in reachfro you?
and if you chose "b."
Are you willing to work hard enough, smart enough, and often enough to make it happen?
my swim faster faster tips might help you.
