Overview

finding out how to swim faster with science.

Hypothesis

I would be focusing on a lot of key components and will analyze my progress. I highly think that this plan would work and that I will really improve.

The swim plan is relatively simple but with some important parts.

I would go harder and harder on my training plan as I follow through the week. As I push, I would analyze mt progress and eventually improve in strength and swimming. The plan sounds simple but it would be hard to stay with it. The way you execute it out is the hard part and will be very annoying as I push through.

I estimate that the improvement would be pretty high and that I can actually get to another level.

Variables

Dependent variable- speed of person

Independent variables- temperature of pool, food consumed beforehand, amount of sleep, pool depth, pool length, experience, and time.
