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:

So the speed cap doesn't hit until the 70s?! LOL. Gee, I don't think I'll be going my current 50 free time then. I was thinking there was a bit of a slide with each increasing age group. Now maybe when they come out with the fastskin III++ ...

I didn't want to choose a younger age and be proven wrong by these waterborne superheroes! For most of us the slowdown will likely occur decades before that.
