You have the speed to be in the 1:02s for sure. Do you think you should be doing more LC training maybe? Most of what I see (that you post anyway) seems to be SC.
I don't think so, because even in college when we trained long course every day I would lock up at ~80m. I got a few long course practices in this season, but yes, 90+% of the practices were scm.
I’ll be competing across the street at Masters Nationals 😁 Going NOwhere near as fast as times I did 20+ years ago BUT as a distance free girl I’ve learned to swim breastroke pretty decently so that has been fun! Thank you for sharing your journey, it has helped me a lot!
Thanks so much for sharing your journey, so inspirational, great lessons given, and excited to see more! Men's 100 Fly: 1. Caeleb Dressel 2. Dare Rose 3. Thomas Heilman
@@FikeSwim At 6' everyone makes me feel so SHORT these days. When Schooling won the Olympic gold for fly he was referred to as a short guy at 6 feet. And then i wondered when 6 feet tall became so tiny. Awesome 100 Breast swim.
I already said it but just in case: 100 Back 1st: Ryan Murphy 2nd: Hunter Armstrong 3rd:Shaine Casas Also Fike, why don’t you swim at TYR pro swim meets? Are there certain times you need?
It's hard to get away with family and work. I already devote a lot of time to training and racing, so to add travel on top is a bit much. Plus, we've got lots of meets and great pools around here, so it works out well.
Nice work! Fast swimming :)
Thank you!
Great job on your PR! Congrats!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Still super fast and also inspirational! Congrats James! Keep it going.
Will do, thanks!
🎉 on the PB. Beating your youth version, who was pretty good, is truly a breakthrough.
That's true, thanks!
I love your passion and congrats on the PB!! Keep pushing it. I am trying to swim faster at 44 and you are motivating me to keep trying!!! 🙂
Thank you! Best of luck to you! You can do it!

6'3" but I've brought that up and as I type this I probably weigh 204
