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??????

OK, so here's what I'm gonna try and get my seed times set to.
100 IM - 1:18
100 Free - 1:05
50 Free - 28
50 *** - 42
50 Fly - 35
25 Free - 13
25 Back - 16
25 Fly - 15
25 *** - 20
Those seem like reasonable times based upon current progress (tho my coach seems to think that 26 is more reasonable for 50 free, I disagree, I prefer to be a little cautious)
So if there are no dissenters, this is what I will try to get them changed to. May God have mercy on me. :cry:

Paul I'd say we have a race on our hands for the 100FR :wine:
