Have you improved over time? I'm talking actual time improvements compared to lifetime bests.
I consistently swam sporadically for several years. Get it?
For the past 9 months I have been training and racing fairly consistently and I finally feel like I'm on the verge of actually improving.
I have swam a number of best times in off events. I have not bested any of my big ones.
What has your experience been? I'm talking about lifetime bests.
I'm 33. I swam DIII in college. so, I was ok but not great or anything.
I'm mainly interested in your actual experience. Things that have actually happened. Rather than what is supposed to happen.
I swam in high school (AAU) and as a walk-on at my state university junior and senior years. I was ok - but nothing special and I honestly don't clearly remember my times from that far back so I can only go by what I've done in the last year
I;ve been swimming for my own amusement for the past 30 or so years and only started entering meets last year. In every single event (so far) I have seem great improvement. In the pool, I work harder and smarter than I used to and I'm not nearly as much of a flake as I used to be so I feel confident that I can get close to what I think some of those times were.
I feel that I'm still improving and that I haven't hit the upper limit of what I can do - I'm shooting to go under a minute in the 100 free (which I know I did, just barely, in the past) and to go 1:10 or under in the 100 back. I;ve made a lot of progress so far -
we'll see how long it takes me to get there!
