So I made this bet with my 9yo daughter. The bet was that if she swam 100 free (this past Sunday) within 30 seconds of what I swim it in (on the 28th), I would have to give her $20 (10 to her, 10 to her savings account). She is very competitive with me (we race down the slides at the swim center :duel:) and she loves to beat me.
So I was figuring on her going about 1:35-1:38, which means I would have to go about 1:05, really didn't that would be a problem. So what does she do? She nails her start and does THREE flips turns (she does them well in practice, she just isn't confident in them yet) and throws down a 1:29.37. I was thrilled, cause she looked great. Then I did the math :doh:, I gotta go sub 1:00. Maybe in a couple of months, sure, don't think I'm gonna get it in this meet. Ugh, nothing like a trash talking 9yo :rofl:.
Me and my big mouth, maybe I should have held out for 20 seconds??????

(in SCM)
100 IM - about 1:35 interval
100 Free - About 1:20
50 Free - 38
25 Free - 19
25 Fly - 18
25 Free - all out about 14.5 after a practice.
That's all I can remember now. So gimme your suggestions for the following:
100 IM
100 Free
50 Free
50 Fly
50 ***
and then 25 of each stroke. I think Fort is right, I would rather be in a competitive heat than in a heat with a wide range of times.

Why not just enter the SCM times? They're at least closer than NT. You should be faster SCY than SCM, so if you want to be more accurate, shave 1.5-2 seconds per 50 off the SCM times.
