Sorry if this is :dedhorse: , but I was wondering if there is such thing as a speed cap. A point where you just aren't going to get any faster. I know that's what happens with walls, but is there a point when you hit a permanent wall? I'm in decent enough shape (working on getting in better) and I've been told I have good technique, I just can't ever seem to get the speed I want. I recently took about 6 months off so I know that's a factor, but even when I've swam regularly for an extended amount of time my progress seems to cap at a certain point. Is it worth trying to gain the speed or should I just accept my fate in the slow lane? Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!:notworthy:
Is it worth trying to gain the speed or should I just accept my fate in the slow lane?It all depends on what you are willing to do to gain the speed…
Increase the intensity of your workouts
Swim 2 a days
Lift weights
Perfect that good stroke
Take supplements
I believe that practically every swimmer could be faster, it all depends on what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve this. Most of us have some flaws in our strokes which can be corrected to improve efficiency/speed. Spending time in the weight room to increase core and limb strength will help. More quality water time definitely helps.
