I really want to qualify for national level end of the next season that is in 10 months! im currently swimming 26 but need a 24 anyone got some advice expecially with kicking at training i'm always a mile behind when we do kicking?Hey i need two seconds off my 50m Freestyle time in 10 months to qualify anyone got any advice, training tips?
My first recommendation is to swim with people who are faster than you. Each time that I have moved to another training group or when I moved from high school to college swimming, I swam with faster people who pushed me to get faster!





One very important thing in the 50m free is breath control. Almost every guy I personally know that is going 22 seconds to 24 seconds in 50m LC are taking NO MORE than 2 breaths. A lot of these guys restrict it to 0 or 1 breath.





Kicking is absolutely essential too. Kicking with fins will definitely improve your kicking strength. Work underwater dolphin, as this is crucial on your start! If necessary stay after practice and do a set of say 5x100s kick 2 extra a week on the fastest interval you can hold. Try to drop the interval a little bit each week. Kick all out on the last of the 5x100s one of the days -- on the other day try kicking all out on the last 25 of each of the 5x100s. If you want more ideas for kicking sets, just message me, I have many sets!





Weightlifting is also a HUGE part of sprinting. I weight lift 3-4x per week throughout the season. Look at any 50 or 100m freestyle sprinter and their bodies are huge. Muscle strength is key. Even more important is transferring your strength to the pool by focusing on drills.





Hope this helps, let me know you have any other questions.Hey i need two seconds off my 50m Freestyle time in 10 months to qualify anyone got any advice, training tips?
I'm sure you've heard this before.. but what does your coach have to say?


My son who is 14 is working hard to qualify for Jr. Nationals this summer and his coach is always on him. Whether it's his entry, flip turn, heads too high up, kicks aren't coming from his hips, rotation is off and so forth.





Your weak kick may be one component, but there is so much more to swimming at this high level. Really work with your coach, with goals for next year. The mental game is also just as important as the physical, this is also another subject your coach should be working with you. Your coach should be setting up your drills, not a stranger who can't see your technique - strengths or weaknesses.





My son, prior to his current coach had a horrible past club coach who didn't know what she was doing and now that we have an experienced coach we can see the difference in our son.





So work with your club team, and if you think they aren't helping you, perhaps it's time to find another team.
you should keep doing it over and over until you get it.


~don't give yourself a break until you reach your goal.


~ if you make this a habit, then the seconds will disappear.


~also you can try a drag suit, and try and get your normal time so when you take off the drag suit you feel a lot faster in the water and you will go faster.
