Pentathlon Times-But I need advice for improvement
Former Member
50 fly - I went in 33.14, this was my first time ever competitively swimming butterfly, and my coach seeded me in at 35, so I guess I did ok..
50 back - I went in 37.xx, this was also my first time ever competitively swimming backstroke, but I feel I could've done better...
50 *** - (feel free to laugh, and hard) I went in either 48 or 58, breaststroke is obviously my worst stroke...and I thought I was DQed anyway for a dolphin when I hit the water, I wasn't thinking...
50 free - I am disappointed in myself for this race...I almost missed my heat, I ran across the deck to make it when I heard swimmers take your marks...had a HORRIBLE flipturn and only did it in 28.3, I am aiming for 26.9 or under next time.
100 IM - My first time ever swimming an IM, I was ahead in my heat by 3 seconds I was told, until breaststroke...so then I got second with a guy beating me by maybe 4 feet...but I swam in 1:18, my first time ever doing an IM...
- I'd just appreciate any advice you have for these swims, I've tried searching and haven't found much, and when coach brings out the camera, I'll get films of myself doing every stroke in put them up here for contructive criticism.
Well, your age gives you lots of time to improve. work at being better at turns. This will aid in all the stroke. Do you have a coach that will work with you to improve??
