15 years old, Am I doing alright?
I started swimming when I was 8 and started competitions when I was 9. My coach says I am a late bloomer, like everyone has muscles and I am still tall and lanky. I only have a bit of arm pit hair etc. Long course times are from february 2011 and short course times are from august 2011. I had a broken toe during the long course meet, and I was pretty sick. and short course I wasn't tapered because my coach doesn't like short course. I just finished an 11 day training camp and I feel SUPER FIT, we did 15 sessions, 2 hour training sessions, plus 1 and a half hour dryland, like running, stretch cords, cardio (NO GYM) Like during training now I break 30 seconds in fly, back, free quite easily.

By the way I am a backstroker, but my main event is 200.IM

I am 6"2 (188m) 75KG (Approx.)

The next long course meet is nationals and I feel ready to break all my PBs.

My milliseconds are approx. because I dont remember all of it!

feedback please
