Greetings All:
I assume everyone got the email from membership about the new USMS-Swim.com partnership for workout tracking. The FLOG here will connect with a new account at Swim.com and provide a lot of new features especially for people who wear fitness trackers.
Anyone signed up over there yet? What do you think of the changes?
I put myself in the old school category also. I don't have a tracking device and have trouble justifying the expense of purchasing one. I just work off the pace clock during practice and manually log everything later. I also include notes to myself critiquing my workouts that I like to refer back to later.
As far as technology goes, I find video feedback much more valuable than just raw numerical data. I ask one of my coaches to shoot some video of my stroke every few weeks, especially if I've been working on some specific stroke improvement or correction.
