I have been doing swimming for over 10 years now and I have a pretty accurate idea of where I am, what I need to improve on and where I am good at. I am a distance swimmer meaning I swim the events like 400, 800, 1500 freestyle and this would be considered as one of my strengths as they are my strongest events. Something that I know I need to is my breaststroke, I can barely swim it at speed because I rarely practise it but from now on I’m trying to get better at it by doing it more in training sessions and also doing exercises to make my hips more flexible. I know that I also need to work on my sprinting abilities as I find sprinting hard due to the fact that I’m too used to swimming distance events so to improve this, I will be doing more gym sessions to improve my strengths and power to swim faster. I am committed to swimming as I have had to give up most of the other sports that I wanted to pursue just to purse swimming competitively, I swim 9 sessions a week and participate in 2 land training sessions a week bringing my swimming hours up to over 20 a week.
