Yes 7 days away. Pool was closed 😑. And yes 15 seconds. My swimming is bad!!!! I'm not going to list my 100 time. It's shameful

It would help for context.

I'll post my last 5k time so you can laugh at that, if it makes you feel better.

No way..it's bad. I should also say I just changed to Training in a jammer from traditional swimming/ board shorts as well. Probably made a big diff as well.

If you were swimming 3 minutes per 100 yards, I could easily see a 15 second improvement in a short amount of time.

Umm, that's 14 of your 15 seconds and 1.75 of your 2 stroke per length improvement right there.

That makes me 😔

At least my stroke count dropped. I'm 5"11 what's a good count per 25

I'm an inch shorter than you and (when I want to) can do 9 strokes across the pool (SCM). that's counting each arm. i.e. pushoff, surface, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left touch.

So you're taller than me in a shorter pool. 8 strokes.

;-)

I'll et you decide if I'm serious. I am serious about the first paragraph though....

How far is ur push off? 15 yds?
I'm down to 16 from 19

1-2 dolphin kicks usually. maybe 6 or 7 m off the wall

(that's not my regular SPL. I'm typically 15-16 SPL, but that in and of itself isn't a great stat. If you are doing that but you are excessively gliding* then that isn't good.

* excessive means "at all". good swimmers don't glide. not even sun yang.

If you're Ricky Berens, 9 strokes per length is pretty good. So smooth....

15 yds? You glide for over half the pool?

I was sarcastically asking Jason how far his push off is since he said he can do the 25 in eight Strokes.

Actually, I said 9. Get it right.....

Not sure if I can do that now. That was a couple of years ago, I was in the water a lot more than I have been for the past year, I think I've lost some feel and a bit of power...

Amazing. An update on terry turned into a compare and contrast on turnover, glide, speed, etc. Just sayin
