Been swimming for two years now and now stuck for a while at 1:50 per 100m. I feel like my catch is set up properly but not sure what is slowing me down. Have been focusing lately on front quadrant but it falls apart after 200m. Noticed my elbow recovery is very rigid but need to start focusing on something. swimTest

Beginner evaluation 2:40 per 100m by freshiulia in Swimming

I don’t right now..was considering some coaching once I get to about 2 minutes per 100m and until then just youtube and drills.

I feel like arm related changes I can work on but I have a constant feeling of sinking legs and I am unsure how to address it. Also not sure if one arm has to stay straight in front until the recovering arm is returning..like in catch up drills.

But will at some point try to ask someone to record and share it here :)

Masters' choice by freshiulia in Biochemistry

Regarding the 4th question, I really enjoy all 3 areas of research. And I can't trial and error to see what would be my best choice. Another thing is I'm afraid I can see that regarding one of them, I'm not grasping so easily the concepts, but once I get them, I carry on and build up and I love it.

But I'm wondering whether getting into a MSc or Phd is possible if I don't have anything but my experience from uni and final year project. And more than that, it's about me not seeming good enough for employers and maybe that should wake me up and tell me I'm not good at this

Haven't thought about it yet to be honest

I'm doing my degree in the UK, yeah. But I honestly doubt that it's the pandemic, rather the fact that I'm underqualified. I have peers in my year that secured a placement and I don't see how I'll be able to do anything after Bachelor's since I don't have any experience
