Heres the scoop. I've been swimming for about 3 years now. My best times (scy) are as follows:
500 free 5:13.something
200 free 157.something else
100 free 52.8
50 free 24.38
100 fly 59.7
I swim between 20,000 and 30,000 yards/week now. I'm 20 years old, (male). My question is, do you think that with the right training and work ethic I could make a cut for the Olympic Trials in 2012? I would expect to train between 2 and 3 hours/day. I know it may sound a little crazy given my times now but I believe that with 6 years to do it, I can. My goal would be to qualify for the 100,200, or 500 free.
Yes, Noah swims for Georgia Tech. They just wrapped up the dual season and are getting set for ACC's Feb 21-24 at Chapel Hill, N.C. I'm not sure how far UNCW is from Chapel Hill, but it may be worth the trip to see some fast swims.
Beth, thanks for your kind comments. I am very proud of his accomplishments in the pool, in the classroom and in life.
Yup, the young Copeland is quite an impressive swimmer. I had the chance to watch his 4:29 last year and meet his proud father last year when ACCs were at UMD.
