this is a summer city swim league and the person who can beat everybody has a wowing time for butterfly at 35:02 and she can't do anything about her backstroke. But I am the best at backstroke for 11/12 girls

7-8 seconds is quite a big time drop, but if your coach has you on a good taper program I would say it is definately possible. Swimming is a sport of the mind, you need to go out there and know you are going to beat that other girl. Work on your flip turns until they are flawless and try shaving down your body. Shaving off that layer of skin the night before your big race will eliminate dead skin which depleats tiredness. Most importantly though, carb up and have your coach put you on a good taper! As you grow older and perfect your stroke, you will drop time...keep that competitive fire alive!

Well, depends what Division and all that confusing stuff, but compared to me.. thats pretty good, just as long as your Division 3 or lower. I am Division 2, and thats pretty fast, so you probably are good enough, if not you are sooooooooo close.
