Hey

My name is Jake. Im 14 (15 in 3 weeks exactly) and am a Freshman in higschool. I currently swim and play water polo. I swim for SDS year round, the fairfax frogs in the summer, and this coming november for my highschool. I've swam since forever and my Relay (summer leauge) is one of the best in the area, and has been since we were 8 years old. I've been playing water polo for 2 years (this is my third) and am one of the original (and best if i don't say so myself) players for Northern Va's premier (and only) water polo team. In school I like biology and history as they are pretty easy. I like to hang out with my friends after school and hit up the local Wendy's for grub (Wendy's > you). So yeah...thats pretty much me..if i forget anything just ask.

50 free SCY- 24ish
50 free LCM- 27ish
50 Free SCM (not from block)- 27ish

50 free isn't my strong event, although its getting better.

the lanky 6'1 frame and 6ft wingspan of the german albatross is legendary in Northern virginia swimming.

I put in around 350 practice hours a year though and along with X-training, water polo, and summer practice it ends up being like 700-800 hours of training a year. Around here my 24 is ok, to be good for my age i'd have to go a low 23 and amazing would be a 22. But i'm smaller than most people so its all good.

lilroach, I used to live in northern virginia, and I'm a pretty good swimmer. I was just trying to give you a hard time. Sven aka the german albatross (cuz I had a big wingspan and was long and lanky)

Don't forget me! :D My stroke is breaststroke, for 50 breast I got 29.48, I'm not that good at free, but for the 100 free, I got 55.5(I like short distances, I'm better at sprinting) :D I'll need to check up on the rest of my times. :D
