I'm starting to prepare for Austin, I figure even if I can't make it at least maybe I'll have some improvement.
To prepare how many times a week should I swim. I don't think my schedule will allow 7 days. Currently I'm swimming at the "Y" at least 2-3 days, this week will end with 2 days, we were ready to swim the other day, but a storm can and they had to close the pool. I"ve done weights a few times this summer. Oh my yardage for each swim is 2500 trying to increase to 3000
In Sept I'm thinking 2 days a week coached ( with the age groupers) 1 day at the "Y" and 1 day weights.

I am also setting a goal of 2008 SCY nationals. I have spent the summer drillling to improve my stroke, and am working my way back to 5x a week and starting weights. I may or may not actually qualify, but at least I'll come close, and it seems you can swim a decent number of events (5?) without formally qualifying.
It's an exciting goal, and the first time I will have worked for a full year to achieve a swimming goal in oh, three decades or so!
Good luck, Concho Pearl!
