I'm currently in the 2nd slowest swim lane, there are 5. I'd like to move up to a faster lane, not sure if I could make the time cycles of the fastest lane though, they swim on a 1.20 time cycle, coming in on 1.10. At the moment my lane is on a 1.40 time cycle, I was coming in on 1.24, 1.25, but that is now low 1.20s.
2020 has been all over the place with swim training, as it probably has for a lot of people, no swim training all year till July, then once a week till November and then the last 4 weeks, 2 -3 times a week. I've just joined the squad. Volume is only 8 - 9km a week. I'm interested to hear what gains people have had as they have upped their training volume and I know there are lots of variables, but roughly what volume I would have to do to drop down to a 1.25/1.20 time cycle (coming in 1.10 - 1.15. I feel my technique is reasonable, although my kick is weak. TIA.
