Do you think I am okay at swimming?

Question

Okay, I've been swimming summer league for 3 years, so that is 5 practices a week for 2 months each summer- so 6 months of 5 practices a week.

i do 50 yards and my times are:

50 free: 30

50 fly: 32-33

50 breaststroke: 37

50 backstroke: 40 (i need to work on this stroke a lot, i no)

so, am i okay at swimming when in total, i've only swam for 6 months? o, and i wanna really know from year-round swimmers, or summer swimmers, so please tell me if you are one of these.

Answer 1

your a good swimmer. my times for the 50s are around yours. but my backstroke is better then my breststroke. have you ever thought of joining a winter swim team?? i swim on a winter and summer team. winter is harder cause you swim 100s and 200s in meets. also there are not really any 50s that you could swim at my age on a winter team.  

Answer 2

dude ur awesome

Answer 3

Don't focus too much attention on your split times this early in your career.  I'm sure you've heard this before, but focus on the basics of your technique.  Making each stroke more efficient and streamlining your flip turns will help with these times over the long haul.  As with anything in swimming, conditioning is key.  Set reasonable goals and have an action plan to reach them.  If you're swimming with a team or group, this can be a huge advantage as well.  Nothing helps to motivate a young swimmer more than people cheering them on.  Keep up the hard work, focus on the basics, and everything else will fall into place.

Answer 4

yeah thats pretty good. im horrible at swimming lol.

Answer 5

Hey, these are good times from ONLY swimming a short amount of time. Like the other person said, working on your technique is much more important than worrying about world records. By the way, how old are you, because if you're still young, you have a long way to go.

Answer 6

there is no ok its either you win or lose so believe in yourself for a chance to get better not good for good

Answer 7

yea!! this is freaky but im pretty much the same at those too!! Im gold in my team so your pretty good! :)

Answer 8

im a high school year around swimmer and these times are 3-5 seconds off *besides the backstroke)... if your around my age id say your doing great. if you swam year around you would actually be pretty fast
