  • Chlorini I have been playing around on the fly and back and making pretty good progress. Still not the greatest negative splitter BUT I did a long course IM and managed to drop from a 3:30 to a 3:23!! I was pretty happy with the fly because I was able to kick the whole way without dying and the back was a bit better because I had been doing the transition sets.. I am not too much of a LC swimmer so I am looking forward to trying the IM's during SC meter/yard seasons! I try and do the set that you gave me at least once every week or so and was (for a VERY brief moment) actually considering a 200fly in october. ANYWAY I thank you for your input and who knows maybe someday I might just be a pretty good IM'er thanks bridge
