This blog is devoted to freestyle swimming. Why is it called Twenty-Three Seconds? Because that is my target, to swim 50 meters within twenty-three seconds. We will see if I ever get there, but the fun is in the attempt. You can follow along as I analyze my crawl stroke to death. Take heart with me as I reach new records, cry along side me as I suffer crushing defeats, and maybe learn a few things that you can use to improve your own time.
