Do you think its possible to make the Olympic Trials Cut with these times by 2012?

Question

Ive been swimming for almost 2 years now and here are my times for Long Course Meters:

50M free- 27.4

100M free- :59.3

I really have a dream to make it to the Olympic Trials in 2012. Honestly is tht possible, i swim for HS and club

Answer 1

i don't know how old you are but i know people that are younger than me who are 13 that have faster times. so if you want that dream get faster...fast

Answer 2

Well thier good times but these people have been swiming for  years and thier good to but I don't think those are olympic times

Answer 3

Yes it is possible, I have seen swimmers start late age 13 and then go to the Olympics and place in only a few years.  Also many swimmers are in their twenties so even in 2012 doesn't happen it doesn't mean that 2016 won't.  Few swimmers do make it to this level, but it has been done.  Your times will need to improve.   For the 50 you will need to shave off 3-4 seconds at least and the hundred around 8 seconds.

Keep working towards your goal though.

Also remember that girls do peak younger.  It was unheard of when Michael Phelps was there at 15 for the fly, I suspect he will swim another Olympics after this one too.

If you go under USA swimming olympics psych sheets you can see all the cuts how many people are going and there times.  The cut for 50m fr 23.49, and for the

100m fr 51.59

How about DARA TORRES being the TOP

seed in the 50m FR at 41 YEARS OLD!!!

She is from my age group so I am pulling for her.

I have 1 kid that I coached competing in the 400 m IM
