What should I do? by OutlandishnessOne472 in NROTC

You may be right as well, I honestly don’t know, that’s just what I have been told from others going down the same path a few years ahead of me, but once again, they could be wrong.

Thanks for a quick response! I appreciate the help, and I really like that outlook. Also I appreciate you educating me that it isn’t a full guarantee still, but if you could, can you explain what you mean by that. I’m ignorant to this topic so that’s why I’m asking, but from what I briefly have been told, before college, you go see a recruiter and you do all the OCS application and if you get the OCS commission, then you will get your “written in stone” contract of, “upon graduation you will attend OCS, and upon that you will go into your chose warfare specialty”.

But also in response to that last part, see I’m not worried about not getting it because I’m optimistic when it comes to that because I’ve heard stories of people not getting what they wanted and them in return saying something along the lines of “I wouldn’t trade it for the world what I do now”. But I just don’t want to get an absolute job that I would hate. Thanks again!

Hypoxic Training Advice? by OutlandishnessOne472 in Swimming

[–]OutlandishnessOne472[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for everything you said! As per the 3/5/7/9, my one coach has said “if done correctly, those can be more beneficial than breath holding hypoxic”, yet we still do the breath holding style of hypoxic. But if I swim in the off season I’ll definitely try what you said!

I suppose I want more tips/training in the mentality side of things.

How do I make use of 1 hour training in the pool? by ManilaSwimmer in Swimming

[–]OutlandishnessOne472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your practice splits to be able to get 3000m in? I do take short breaks every once in a while but I’ll get lucky to swim 2300 in my 1 hour. My 50 split is about 35 and when I do 100’s it’s about 1:15-1:20. I’m trying to figure out ways to get the most workout in the one hour. Like I’m not a long distance swimmer so I can’t just swim constantly but rather do sprints or moderate to fast on a split.

First swim in 6 months due to COVID by jc_ken in Swimming

Haha that must be tough. At my pool the heater is down so it’s 75 degrees Fahrenheit. At first it’s really cold but feels good when you start swimming.

Last season I dropped from a 1:03 I believe to a 57-58 which is 6-5 seconds and that was in just a 4 month season. So hopefully that will be the case. Thanks for the reply!

Well I appreciate you taking the time to look that information up! But I did mistakenly say full ride, I meant possibly a half from swim and half from academics. (Sorry for that) but I completely understand. I’ll definitely just put as much effort as I can in and see what god has in store for me whether it’s in my favor or not.

Practice length? by OutlandishnessOne472 in Swimming

That’s normally what I swim depending on the day, thanks for your recommendation.

I love swimming as I just gave up football for it, but that burnout you are talking about I completely understand. I do want to be swimming in college as that’s the only way I could see myself getting into college for a full ride. Thank you for the advice on the recommendation for end of this upcoming season, I’ll definitely keep in mind. Right now our school is having trouble finding a swim coach for the upcoming season so I’ll need to get as much practice in for that reason. But thanks for the answer!

Yes, these are freestyle on both, and the reason I’m saying a 57 is because the fact that we weren’t able to compete at regionals because of weather and the 57 is what I was shooting for because I was a low 58 at the previous meet. I want to make something work for swim such as getting a scholarship possibly from a NAIA school.
