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:

I'll have you know Ms. Heather I've joined the team here (Masters) finally and have been swimming regularly and doing yoga 3 times a week. so :thhbbb: (ps. glad to know you're alive!) I agree I do need to do more than what I"m doing to see improvements, I just haven't been able to right now. I'll keep working on technique, I think I'm about to hit a wall. My muscles are not co-operating and I can feel my technique starting to slip. And my fly always needs work.......
It'll be interesting to see the overall human speed cap come into play. In my opinion I dont' think it's to far away. I think records are going to have to go to even smaller measures of time if they want to see them keep being broken.
Thanks everybody for the tips!!
