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 chart my meets from first meet this year and compare how I did at same meet last year. If Im faster this year then Im ahead of pace from last year.
For short course season I taper twice a year. My first taper will be middle of December where I taper with the USS team I train with. Second taper will either be for short course masters nationals or USS Sectional swim meet held around the same time.
