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.
Now that is dedication, moving to train for a USMS meet. :bow:
hehehe. actually, i was planning on moving no matter what, since my lease was up and i wanted out of PA. but the timing of the move was due to worlds. which, IMHO, isn't just "a USMS meet", but a chance to represent the USA... :woot:
and i wanted to do that to the best of my ability, so i moved before worlds, rather then extending my lease till after...
