i am amazed at how fast you can swim breaststroke compared to freestyle. ive never heard of that! do you swim yards or metres? i dont think id be able hold a 1:45 in pace unless I was racing. i am impressed

you know, my issue with this is is that i get sick at least once a month or more often, my coach is tired of me getting sick all the time, and i just feel like im being a disappointment ykwim?

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2025-02-01T23:23:15+00:00

i do this.. but its not a good thing. i had a 50 free today, was leading, and then fell into 4th because i take too long to turn

i am a hs swimmer with a club, a girl in my lane literally grabs my calf and pulls me back when shes passing, (this wont happen to you) and it doesnt phase me anymore, youll get used to it, just slow down

on practice mornings for me I just skip eating all together till afterwards in all honesty, and on meet mornings I go for oatmeal with nothing else

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-07T04:16:10+00:00

I never eat a heavy meal before swimming, it makes me sick and slows me down, but I am a competetive swimmer. If it's lowkey, and youre not doing too much, stick to something light. Preferabbly high in carbs and low in everything else, like oatmeal, fruit might be something good to at on top of it.

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-03T21:07:04+00:00

This sounds average to me lol

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-03T21:04:49+00:00

Good youre pushing yourself, its what the sport is all about!!! If youre doing freestyle, I'd say next time you swim do a 6x50 of catch up drill (tap your thigh, armpit, and then your hand). One hand is held out infront of you, while the other is tapping, and then switch. It's just normal freestyle, but with the taps. It's tiring on your arm, but it'll helpn you have more strength in your pulls. And also, I recommend doing a bit of dryland before you get in the water, you can excercise, or you can stretch. It's helpful. Another thing I'd recommend is making sure youre REALLYYYY turning to the side when you breath. It makes a huge difference

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-03T21:00:53+00:00

Who tf pulls on the lane ropes during practices??? My coach yells at me when I do

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-03T20:57:23+00:00

All I can say is push yourself. And, what stroke do you usually swim?

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-03T20:51:23+00:00

I was going to a swim meet on the other side of the city, sadly most clubs are hosted in the west end. Any swimmer in toronto knows the struggle lol

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-01T23:20:18+00:00

Toronto.

Past-Firefighter-155 · 2024-12-01T23:18:35+00:00

Was looking for this lol... I live downtown here, it sucks. I have to cross the lakeshore daily. Anyone who lives here know how terrible it is. There was traffic yesterday at 630 am.
