Ok, Mr P! ^_^

Oh, by the way, you said 'Nora' instead of 'Noro' Is he a girl?

[Mr Pokemon]

Oops, will change it

[Jerry]

So... how was tennis?

[Mr Pokemon]

Good, I guess. At first I was playing bad, but then I picked up 

[Jerry]

Experience!

For me, I'm playing badminton, but not so much now because of the exams. I used to swim too, and I wasn't that bad at it

[Mr Pokemon]

I swim, too, and I'm not bad. Although, the only stroke I'm really good at is breaststroke.

[Jerry]

Hmm, there aren't many people who are really good at breastroke

Mine is backstroke.

All the rest (freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly) are 'medium'

[Mr Pokemon]

For me, backstroke is bad, freestyle is okay, and butterfly is meh.

[Jerry]

Lol, you'll do well with time, I was bad at butterfly too some years ago, but now, I go as fast as if I was swimming freestyle

Those two are the fastest strokes I know, then you have backstroke and breaststroke. Except that I know some really good 'breastrokers' who can swim as fast as my freestyle

[Mr Pokemon]

My 50 meter breaststroke time is 6 seconds faster than my 50 backstroke time.

[Jerry]

Care to post your time?

Last time I timed myself (2 years ago) I was at 34' I think at backstroke, and in freestyle, 31' or 30'

[Mr Pokemon]

Breastsroke time is 53', freestyle about 41'

[Jerry]

Ah, that means you have much progress to do in front of you

Keep practising, the times will get lower ^.^. I'm sure that you'll get better

[Mr Pokemon]

I get lots of thirds and seconds in meets, but yes, I do need to improve. I don't swim year round, though, like the people who beat me do.

[Jerry]

Yes, never overdo yourself

By the way, how many times a week do you train in swimming? Just to estimate your progress...
