Hello,
I've been swimming with a Master's team, but I feel like my stroke deficiency (in all of the strokes) is not allowing me to improve. I can barely swim 50yards, and then have to stop. I know it's a breathing problem on freestyle, but again, lots of corrections need to be made on all my strokes. Watching youtube videos can only get me so far...
I tried looking for a private coach, but it seems most places here only do private adult swimming classes for people who don't know how to swim at all. The USMS clinics sound perfect, but there are none around me right now.
I looked at fitterandfaster.com - do adults usually go to those, or are they mostly for kids in swim teams?
Any help and/or suggestion would be really appreciated :)
I REALLY appreciate everyone’s suggestions.
As for the questions - we do have a coach, .... I might be able to approach the coach and ask for some specific drills, instead of “can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?” when there are so many people in practice already.
Hey Jersey -
Have you asked the coach if s/he might be able to come a little earl or stay a little later and give you specific technique critique and a pointer or two? Often, s/he will be happy to do so, and flattered if you later report on how the tips are helping you.
