How can one truly know what swimming distances one is best suited for? Can it be possible that somebody is better suited for distance but it is not showing due to low yardage in training? Are there some quick ways to figure this out?

There's no way anyone would ever think I'm a sprinter, but according to USA Swimming's Power Point Calculator I'm slightly better in the 50 free than I am in the 1500 free! I like to run my times through for comparison and found out my relay leadoff 50 free time in Portland scored 594 points while my 1500 free was worth 583.
Michael Phelps' 200 free is worth 1114 points, by the way :bow:
According to that calculator I should give up!
