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.

I'm gonna go walk 4 miles today. I practiced all weekend long at an olympic size pool. My 50 free has gotten down to 25sec. flat. I also am keeping myself on a strict, low carb, lean meat, protein shakes and protein bars and am eating lots of veggies and drinking 6 filled up jugs of 480z everyday. I don't allow myself to drink juice or anything except water. I did have tea this weekend I felt horrible after drinking tea. I practiced my diving and starts this weekend and my turns and strokes. I'm ready for training tonight. I know my coach said to relax this weekend which I didn't do oh well.
