At the end of practice, right before warmdown, do a 25 free as fast as possible. Just give it everything you've got left. You might surprise yourself.
Totally. Fastest time ever. But it took a coach to make me to do it.
What I like about not being a swimmer from my teens (at least not someone trained to swim):
--I have nothing to compare myself to and agonize over.
--Discovery paths are different for an adult.
--I know about plateaus. I can take the long view.
--It's fun to be in a secret society of nuts, obsessives, etc.
--It makes me feel young. :agree:
