i just finished up my season, made states in a relay, 200 free. we got 15th in the state with a 1.33.76

I swim the 50, 100, 200, and 500 free. My times are 23.3, 54.1, 1.58.1, and a 5.40. My 500 is kinda weak in comparison to my other stuff

I almost drowned in the ocean once, due to a rip tide.

It was after hours, so there was no life guard, and I was with my friends.

I just kept trying and trying even though I was tired, and soon enough I made it to shore.

That’s my swimming personal best.

I swam for my first year this year.
At the start of the year my 50 split from the relay was a 29.97. BUt then by the time conference came around I got a mid 25 time.
I mostly swam the 100 at the start of the season, getting my best time to a 1:00.17. But that was the last time I swam it. I did get my 200 time from a 2:24 down to a 2:11. But I’m sure that I could have done a 2:08. I only did the 500 twice but my fastest time was a 6:28. I ended up doing the 100 breast near the end of the season and got my time down to 1:16, so thats pretty good for my first year I suppose. I got my varsity letter too!

Did you swim sideways? They say when you get caught in a rip tide to swim sideways.

I got a 101.99 in my 100 back.

.07 seconds off of the state time:(

Sideways to what? the beach, swim on the side of your body…?

My time was 101.7 in backstroke and I didn’t even place top 6 at sectionals with that.
