Absent technique improvement, I am wondering if each swimmer has a ceiling that can never really be broken once a minimal amount of training has occurred. This is my theory based on my own swimming experience over the last year.
No matter how fast I flail my arms the result in the 50 free always seems to be the same - 28.5, 29.2, 28.7. Seems like a random result +- 0.5 seconds. :frustrated:
Can someone with those kinds of results ever eventually go 26 something just by training harder, doing more and more sprints, etc.. I would hope to hear that is a possibility even though I know I have some fundamental flaws.
... in 2003 I was fortunate to go to the swim camp at the Olympic Training Center. The coaches pointed out several stroke flaws....
That sort of suggests that to get beyond a certain point it probably makes sense to attend a clinic where you get more than the usual attention to detail. A fresh set of eyes so-to-speak.
