this morning I took part in a sprint meet containing only 50s and also 200m IM. I'm not much of a sprinter I specialise in 200s and 400s so I rarely swim 50s. 200m IM - first time doing it 🥉 50m fly - 4 sec pb 50m free +1 sec i felt so dissapointef after this one bc it was the one I felt most excited and ready for as it's been going so well in training I felt so down after not because of the time but because of how I felt when I swam it I didn't think I gave it my all 50m back - 0.4 sec pb my backstroke has kind of paused recently I seem to be stuck at similar times and I slipped on the start 😂 50m breast - 2 sec pb seeing as I was quite tired I was quite happy with that time I also was too close on my turn overall I definitely feel like it wasn't my best meet. even tho I got pbs it's just the way I felt during some of the races after the 50 free I was too hard on myself and let it affect my other races I definitely need to learn to overcome that so it doesn't affect the rest of my performance. I need to understand that my performances are going to fluctuate and I'm going to have bad days and good days. today happened to be a bad day which my competition fell onto. I wanted to share so that everyone can understand there's not always going to be good days during comps and u can't be to hard on urself

4 out of 5 pb's swam at today's meet 50m breast 33.3 --> 33.1 100m breast 1:11.04 --> 1:09.48 200m breast 2:32 --> 2:29.80 400m free 4:22 --> 4:19

Welcome, welcome to the community 👋 🏊 I promise you that I'll teach you exactly how the sports psychologist of Michael Phelps (Dr. Jim Bauman) helped me overcome my pre-race anxiety and turned me from an OK-ish swimmer into an Olympian and Swiss record holder in less than 1 year. But first... Pls, introduce yourself :) Let's goooooo! 🚀 P.S. Vote on your swimming dream. How big can you dream?

Anyone know the optimal length to hold stretches for?

I would love that my kid comes back from his next big swimming competition in Thailand proud of himself and of what have achieved. This will be his first competition outside his country, and I just want him to be proud of whatever he will achieve ☺️ and willing to do more international competitive events like that.
