Is it possible for me to drop 13 seconds on breaststroke if I swimming club and on my schools swim?

I swim a 1:13.06|||HUH?! How about using REAL English?





Now, if you're asking if it is possible to drop 13 seconds in the 100 breaststroke the answer is, yes. Every swimmer who goes 13 seconds faster than you had to have dropped 13 seconds.





The better question is, is such a drop probable? That depends on the quality of your stroke mechanics; how hard do you work; are you physically capable of going that fast; are you really motivated and; how many miles per day are you willing to swim to prepare?





One thing to remember is that the drop from 1:13 to 1:04 is MUCH easier than the drop from 1:04 to 1:01 and the drop from 1:01 to 1:00 is even more difficult. In other words, the faster you go the more difficult it is to go fast.





In high school, there are only 15 girls who have ever been under 1:01. Last year there were about 100 high school aged boys in the entire country at that speed.





Good luck|||stick to one team for better consistency
