Am i an okay swimmer... ?

Question

I'm 13 and ive been doing swimming lessons like my whole life so id have my badge things for lifeguarding but now that ive finished them all ive decided to join the swim club. but i dont want to be like the slowest one there... so could you please tell me if my times are okay or if i should train a bit more before i join....

(Note: metres are just barely shorter than yards)

25 metre breast- 20 seconds

25m fly- 17s

25m free- 15s

25m back- 12s

thanks for answering!! :D <3

Answer 1

Although at 13 you will be doing 50&#039;s, you will not be the slowest ones. I would suggest joining a team that has different levels so you would be placed where you need to be and always have a place to move up. Your back time is exceptionally fast!

good luck*

Answer 2

Actually meters are longer than yards.. So I guess you&#039;re not a good swimmer. Gotta at least know your distance.

Your backstroke&#039;s pretty good though.

Answer 3

Ummmmm. Do you really do a 25 meter back in 12 seconds? Thats almost impossible for a 13 year old girl. Almost all college girl backstrokers couldnt even do that.

If you are that good, go straight to nats

I refuse to believe you are that fast in meter times are that fast

Answer 4

I think your back is really good.  I&#039;ve been swimming for

around 20 years.  It&#039;s a lifetime sport.  You should go for

it.  Best of luck.

Answer 5

wow your back is really fast... definately go for it... but try and do 50m and 100m as well

Answer 6

well if youre 13 u wont do 25s ever, you dont get that sort of luckiness. so since the minimum is a 50 i&#039;m gonna times ur times by 2 so i&#039;d say ur fly is good, ur free is an A time and thats good and ur back is really good

Answer 7

that&#039;s better than my times, and i&#039;m an okay swimmer.  of course i&#039;m sorta outta practice so i&#039;ve gotten slower.  i&#039;d probably be the slowest.  just go for it!

Answer 8

I am not sure. When you are 13 I am almost positive that you will not be doing 25s (most of the time you stop doing them in 8 and under) and there are factors such as flip turns that would factor in how your times would be.
