like you, ct, I am 'self taught' and have swim for the fun of it. I have no idea if my technique is any good.

hah my eventson swim team were known to by many as the "suicide events"

I was all distance freestyle and butterfly. My usual swim meet went

Medley relay 50 fly
200 free 8 eventns later
100 fly
500 free
free relay (the only sprinting I ever did)

I can't do backstroketosave my life.

And 50 laps in a row is nothing...I would have practices where I had to do a 2000 free style, no breaks, in 30 minutes. Then I got a 3 minute break and did another one.

lol yeah it is only 1:30 per 100...but you kept going and couldn'tstop at ALL. I recall wanting to die.

I miss USA swimming. I got to swim in a meet with an Olympic swimmer...not in her heat but my good friend was two lanes away fromher in the meet and managed to get third (and only lost to her by 10 seconds in a 500 free)

yeah it does. During the school year I usually swim 8 or 9 times a week and go to the gym and do weight training about 3 times a week.
