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?
I swim with a few triathletes, and they could run/bike cirlces around me,
but in the water I go about 20-30cm per stroke farther than them.
I can see when I swim by them that it has lots to due with their tech, arms, hands, kicking, body position and their overall cormfort level in the water. most of them are stiff when then swim.
