I've been on a swim team for a month and have been to three swim meets and have come in third place in all of my events. I need help with improving my time and speed. Also, I need help with the flipturn. I also have started training for nationals next year. I run 3 miles a day and train in the gym and I go to a physical therapists as I have had to have 2 neck surgers in the past 3 yrs. I'm loving swimming and, I get so excied when it comes time to compete. If any of yall have advice or training advice for me I would appreciate it. I do have a coach I work with 4 times a week.

My 200 last night was 3:19. Of course, right before I went I did run 4 miles so, I was tired last night at practice. Last night our warm up was 3x100 and 2x200 and then 2x200 with fins and then we did a 1000m race and then our cool down was 2x200 easy. My 100 and 50 weren't very good last night. I train monday-thursday. I go to masters monday and wed. and then have personal one on one time with my coach on tuesdays and thursdays and I've started going to another pool on the weekends and training by myself. I really need to improve more. My turns were pathetic as well but, I wasn't giving it my all either. Again, I need all the advice and coaching I can get because, I really want to be ready for nationals next year and also, I have another swim meet coming up June 8 and 9th.
