Lots of respect for pro swimmers now

It has now been three months I have been training SC 3-4 times a week to improve my general fitness. I have nothing but respect for swimmers who can keep a consistent sub 1:30/100m pace!

I've been for my whole life and have been an avid water enthusiast. Open water swimming, freediving, scuba diving, etc. Always considered myself a strong swimmer. I have had zero coaching or team swimming experience.

I can comfortably hold a 2:00-2:10 pace during endurance sessions and in sprint training I can hit 1:40/100m and a pace of 1:34/100m during a 50m sprint.

Seeing people casually knock out sub 1:30 over 10x100m is mind boggling. I can't imagine what it feels like to move that quickly through the water.

I am seeing good progress! I am excited to see how I improve over the years.
