Speed Cap?

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:

    Well, my treadmill faces a wall mural of the woods, does that count :D I really prefer treadmill over running outside. I like to watch the clock and distance on treadmill. Plus, its easier for me to hit the treadmill with 2 kids, 2 dogs and the boss of the household. I spend enough time at the pool I do not need to spend more time away from the family :-) Greg
