Q&A Thingy (and ACT recap)

ACT was great! (despite the fact that I forgot my admission ticket and got in late)
There isn't too much of a story regarding that. . . got there/realized I didn't have ticket/wandered around aimlessly while dad rushed home and back/really nice moderator-proctors let me in/found a seat and finished bubbling information-caught up with everyone/wrecked test -> yay
So I already knew what the ACT is all about. The SAT is about thinking, but the ACT is about goin ham and plowing your way through simple or confusing questions alike. Based on my mindset about the ACT, I came in wayyyy to confident. The first test was Writing (wait I already forgot what it's called; it's the one that tests grammar and whatnot), which comes down to memorization and familiarity with the English language. I felt super comfortable with this and I was lazily making my way through the test, occasionally day-dreaming, etc. hm God is really nice -They called time right as I finished bubbling the last question.
Well that kinda scared me so I tried to focus more on the next sections
Props to Ridley for asking something.
I started swim lessons at different locations somewhere around 5 years old. I joined swim team maybe when I was about 10. (I'm still not sure. There's probably records somewhere and I'm still hoping to find those) I swam a couple years and then took a break for about 1.5 years. I believe this break happened after 7th grade and lasted until beginning of freshman year. I've now been swimming all of high school (senior now) with a 3ish month break when I broke my wrist last summer. (And probably some vacation breaks totaling something like a month or two maybe)
-hm what is that in total? Like between 5 and 7 years. . .?
I have never timed a 200 breaststroke. . . and I don't plan to. XP Breaststroke is my worst stroke by far. My breaststroke is actually legendary at my team (in a notorious way of course). I'm a free/back-stroker.
However, I can tell you my 50 breaststroke. Most of that is pull-down btw.
It's so slow I'm not even worried about the tenths or hundredths cuz it doesn't even matter at this point.
I have a feeling I can get 34 or maybe 33 (still really slow) but every time I've tried to time it recently I've sucked.

How long have you been swimming and what is your 200 breaststroke time?
