Times and how to speed them up...

Hi everyone! This morning I went to UofH to be timed in a 50 meter pool. Soooo, I swam 3 times free with 2 minutes rests in between and 3 times *** with the same rest time. Dove in from the side, no block. Anyway, here are my times for 50 meter free: 00:46:1 00:47:8 00:46:97 AVE: 00:46:97 here are my times for 50 meter ***: 00:54:1 00:54:7 00:55:2 AVE: 00:55:6 So my question is, how do I go faster and do I post these times for Nationals or should I post a few sec. less since I am hoping to get better by August? I will have one more session with my coach next week before submitting times, but not sure if one week will make a difference. Help please! :bow:

    Yeah everything Ande said! :D & without knowing your technique....how about the work that you do on a weekly basis? ie: What type of interval work do you do for these strokes & are you planning on competing in the 50m or 100 + ? I do similiar times to what you quoted when I am coming back from a big break, but 2 months later would expect to go 36.5's & 43's respectively.....after planning my interval work to suit. (I'm more a 200m Brs'er though, so I don't concentrate on the 50's)
