Okay, here's the situation; im moving to a new city, and their new time standards are really fast to make the high school varsity team. The times in SCY are:
50 Free- 23.29
100 Free- 51.99
200 Free- 1:55.99
Okay, well, after looking at my current speed, my 50 free seems to be my best event, but the thing is, its in LCM
I'm 14, going into grade 10, and my times are (again, in LCM)
50 Free - 28.7
100 Free - 1:05.5
200 Free - 2:33 (Yikes!!)
Anyways my 200 free seems to be my worst freestyle event, but, it is apparently the only event i have a real chance in making the team.
So, how does a sprinter swim the 200 free? Tips pease. Also, the try outs are in 3 weeks or so. And i have a big meet one week before that so i will be tapered but a week off. Like starting today, it goes 1 week of hard training, 1 week of tapering, big meet, ???, Try outs.
Thanks for the help :D
not sure if a crash training program will get you there in just 3 weeks
I suggest you train with a team year round, plus being a 14 year old sophomore puts you on the younger end of your class, maturation and strength can make a huge difference at your age.
what sort of training have you been doing?
what suit do you have to wear for your test swims?
using the Time Conversion Utility, a time of:
0:23.29 in short course yards converts to 0:27.08 in long course meters
0:51.99 in short course yards converts to 1:00.24 in long course meters
1:55.99 in short course yards converts to 2:14.09 in long course meters
proportionately you're closest in the 50
