Hey Ya’ll
This is something I need to post. Last night I was watching the women’s swimming at the Olympics with my parents. After a side comment on how I “could have been there” by my mom I realized that she was right. In high school I was a Varsity swimmer with my 100 Fr at 58.54. This was me, not trying too hard, and focusing on other things. This included skipping practices and only working out once a day on school days. I’m now newly 20, and only 3 years out of practice (only…). I want to get back to where I was, if not better.
So as of now I have decided to set a goal to get to the Olympic time trials for London 2012. It’s a big goal, as I’m also in the band, H2O polo and studying to be a Mechanical Engineer. All I said was time trials, if I make it further I’m going for it, but all I want is to make it to time trials. I have 4 years, 14 days, and about 9 hours until the opening ceremonies of those Olympics.
So what do I ask of ya’ll? SUPPORT! Please help me to keep up with my workouts (I will be joining a local masters program). I’ll also be posting more often in this forum.
Thanks for your support, hopefully you’ll start to hear my name more often.

If the technique is good the conditioning will come.I agree that more speed work is good.Also,waterpolo is a good cross-training sport,at least for the next year or 2(probably swimming and swimming related dryland work for the last 2 years though.)If you want it enough you will get there.
