I have a question about why so many people on my swim team are so much faster than me. I have been on a year round swim team for over a year, and have been swimming competitively for about 4 years.
I am still always the slowest on my team, and I get lapped so many times during practice. It is so frustrating! I go to practice almost every day, and work just as hard as them.
Are some people just born fast vs. slow in swimming and there is nothing you can do to change your natural speed? Is speed something you can achieve with hard work?
Why is everyone so much faster than me? What can I do to become fast like them?
Not a chance. I'll kick the walker out from under you right before the start and down you go. Nobody's gonna rule that age group while I'm in it.
The gauntlet is down! :)
I hope to be alive and kicking at 85 (my personal target lifespan), so even if I don't get the records, I'll just be glad to be swimming ... of course, I'm sure my competitive drive will still be there, so I'll have on my 2050-ish version of the B70 and, I guess, have my 50-something daughters there to watch my back / walker.
