I am very much not a swimmer, but I am starting to love it. My goal is to compete in triathlons and being a runner this swimming thing is a lot harder to pick up than I thought it would be. After I do a 100 I'm so out of breath and exhausted that I think I must have some serious form issues. I'm working with a coach but only have 5 lessons and I've done 3 so far just to get me to this point (believe it or not this is actually much better than I started). I'm hoping to spread out my last two so that I can make some more progress and he can just refine my stroke. I'm definitely not very strong in my upper body so I'm sure there's a fitness aspect to it but for as tired as I am there has to be more to it than just that. Thanks in advance! www.youtube.com/watch

  • If you're looking for comments...I'll say first "good work." It looks like you're coming along. With regard to the video...to me the thing that pops out...at least from the camera angle...is that it looks like your hips and legs are a bit low. I think that could easily be fixed by angling your head down a bit more. But keep up the good work. The endurance you're looking for will come eventually. Dan
