Okay, if i'm currently going a 25.8 in a 50 Freestyle (SCY), what would i have to do to bring it down to a 23.8 by the end of the summer?
2 second drop in 3 months? is that possible? And i don't mean by using a fast suit or anything, i just want to make myself faster while wearing a brief.
I'm only 14 so i should be growing and getting stronger (i hope) haha
Anyways, in the summer i will practice with my team for about 3 hours a day, and i plan on lifting weights everyday aswell. So, what can i do to get my 50 time down.
My start is decent, and my flip is aswell, but how do i get faster like just by pushing off the wall?
I hear that sprinting in practice helps.
My flutter is TERRIBLE.
In practice, when we do kicking sets, i try as hard as i can, i'm probably the one making the biggest splash, but everyone around me is passing me, and i get TIRED from doing kick. How can i help that?
Anyways, please tell me how to get my times down.
thanks alot :)

Train like a sprinter.
Fast swimming in workout must be accompanied by lots of recovery so you can do the next repeat at race pace.
If you were in Masters, you'd see how often this philosophy is not used.
Great advice - but I think the bigger problem is age group swimming. Very few seem to understand this at all including some famous swimming programs. Pound the yardage, pound the distance. Still seems to be the Rx for many kids.
