Hi all
What is your favourite workout for '200m Backstroke' - '200m Breaststroke' - '200m Butterfly' and '200m Freestyle'? It was great to hear from Bill. Thanks for the motivation. How many others of you train alone due to distance of travel to a pool? How are you going? I'd better get off my butt and get going or it will be another day that I don't train. :p

Training alone can be a bit boring. I myself train with a team in the mornings but swim alone in the evenings. When I swim alone, its sometimes difficult to push myself since there is know one pushing me, however, that is when the time clock becomes my best friend. The clock does not lie when you are slacking but also shows when you are crusing. When swimming alone, I focus a great deal on techinque, you know, the streamline off the walls, not breathing out of turns, full underwater pull and recovery.
So, instead of thinking of swimming alone is boring, use the clock to challenge you in the pool, after all, that is what we are competing against :-)
