The training that Michael (Bohl) gives us helps with that as well,\u201d said McKeon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m used to swimming multiple events and as I get older I want to keep improving; but it does give me confidence swimming this fast now (particularly when) we don\u2019t know when our next competition will be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 100m freestyle (beating Cate Campbell in 53.00) was really good; that\u2019s the quickest I\u2019ve been unrested and I\u2019m really enjoying my swimming at the moment so that\u2019s making a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were planning on doing one meet per month (but we are now not going to the Pro Swim Meet in Mission Viejo next month) so its good to get some fast times on the board now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully we\u2019ll have the Sydney Open (in May) and we always do some suited racing at home;
