  • BillS I agree. Although I am very strong and have a good anaerobic energy system from running sprints, I can't get under 26 SCY. For me It must be technique. In fact, I never had a 50 where I did not screw something up like one or two strokes, breakout or turn. For me the idea of muscling a 50 is true in the sense that bad technique just makes itself more evident as the distance goes up. I swim against people that I loose to by less than a second in the 50 and 5 seconds in the 100.
