Have any of you made huge improvments in your swimming within the past couple of years, or since beginning swimming? If so, what were the improvments you made? What were you doing in training in order to make these improvments?
Have any of you made large improvments recently?
Last Janaury, I did my first meet after 3 years and I just got back into swimming in Nov. 2007. Before that,I would train partially for a few months and then take about 6 months here and there due to "RL" issues. Anyway, at my first meet, I only did a 6:05 in the 500 yard free. A few weeks later, I swam a 1000 at a local mini Masters Meet and did a 13:03.00. Fast forward to last weekend, I did 9:53.33 in my 800 free with a 4:49 split in the first 400. That equates to about the high 5:20s in the 500 free. My 800 converted is about a 11:18.00. On the 1500, I haven't swam it in 4 years. Back then, I only did a 20:12.00. Last weekend, I did an 18:49.50 which I didn't expect. I only had a goal time of about a 19:30.
Last March, I did a 200 yard fly with the time of 2:40. This weekend, I did a 2:33.09 in the 200 SCM Meter fly.
