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.
Sincerely, Swimminggirl

I think you should 'fess up and come clean (as it were). Either you have a huge problem with the truth or you are a terrible typist. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but your steroid comment really pushed me over the edge.
You stated on several posts that your 50 Free time was 25 secs flat. You know this is not true and then your times you posted for the 100 Free and 200 Free are also way off. I think you said your 200 Free time was 2:38 or so.
From all of my experience, everyone on this board is helpful and wants to support each other. It is a little hard to swallow when someone asks if the times you post are correct and you don't answer, correct yourself or edit the thread. Then you say you are on steriods without any explanation. I don't know anything about performance enhancing drugs, but if your MD prescribes them your fellow swimmers deserve an explanation. After all, performance enhancing drugs are cheating!
