Entering the month of June, it was the start of a month long schedule of intensive training for the swim team. Trainings became more frequent and demanding, pushing ourselves to the limits. Trainings under the coach at the Chinese Swimming Club became even tougher, setting extremely high standards and expectations of the swim team. We begin to focus more on our own specialized events, which in my case would be the 50m and 100m freestyle. Every training consisted of time trials in which timings for own specialized events were taken. Even though the trainings were tough, every mark of improvement was a motivation for me. My timings had improved gradually. At the start of the month, my timings for 50m and 100m freestyle was 33secs and 1min20secs respectively. Around the end of the month, my timings had improved to 31secs and 1min 15secs respectively. On the 13th of June, it was the 2nd Inter JC Swim Meet 2007, held at the ITE College East. Around 6 JCs had participated in the competition. I had signed up for the 50m and 100m freestyle event. I came in 3rd out of 5 participants in my own heats for the 50m with a timing of 31.42secs while I came in 4th out of 6 participants in the heats for the 100m with a timing of 1min17secs. It was a pretty good timing but there is still lots of room for improvement to get into the finals for the nationals.
