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.

If you don't, you will always wonder if you could have done it.:agree: :agree:
