hello im new to usms.
I've been wanting to know about some timing help.
my friends son is 12 and he is in the 11-12 age group.
On his freestyle for 50 yds he can go 32 seconds and on 50 ***, 35 seconds. On butterfly and back even higher.
how do I help up his time?
is there any drills he can do or anything there is to help his time?
he swims 2 times a week beacuse of school
Honestly those times are not that bad for a 12 y/o boy swimming only 2 times per week (not sure if the times are meters or yards). Naturally childhood is a great time to develop good technique and "feel" for the water, so anytime he is in the pool there should b emphasis on that. There will most likely come a point when this kid will need to determine if swimming is definitely a sport he wants to pursue, and at that point will need to be willing to devote more than 2 days per week to practice.
