Swimming

shane italian · 11-07-2004, 10:04 PM

Seeing as how my water-polo thread didn't go over so well, I figure this will be better since swimming is more popular.

I'm not the fastest swimmer, but I have a lot of endurance (thanks to polo) with my freestyle. My 50 free is around 2:50

And might I add that swimming has to be by far, one of the best work outs known to man.

You must not be too fast if you swim your 50 free at 2:50 at the fastest. That's about 20 seconds slower than my last 200 free time, sophomore or freshman year.

I normally swim the 50 and 100 free. 50 time = :28 low... I'm supposed to be at 27 low/26 high as of last season, but oops! Haven't dropped in two ****ing years. 100 time = 1:02 high. I'm supposed to have broken a minute as of sophomore year. Oops again. I almost broke 60 freshman year, too. Ooooh well. This is my last season, and ****it I'll get there!

Currently I can hardly move, because swim season has started complete with the dryland practices and everything. There is no cure for a sore this bad.

*:50...somehow I got mized up with my 100 fly

. Either way it's slow.

Yeah, I mainly do swimming to build endurance and strength...and a little bit of speed, though I'm not fast at all. It's kind of embarassing considering I'm in one of the top swimming programs in the nation

Ah, see it's the opposite with me. I'll be in the last group during in sprints.

Swimming season is going to be pretty boring compared to water-polo

I swim, but not competitively. I do it for fun in the ocean. I also swim around lakes and such for endurance and I do a lot of skin diving.
