Well I guess that I am going to be the slowest person to post their 1500m time here.It is 40 mins,plus or minus 30 secs.I 'm able to do 50m in 56 secs and 100m in 1 min 5 secs,but after that I slow down so much.I actually swim 4 times a week.doing about 2000m each session so I feel as if I am doing enough training,but I guess that I have some fundamental flaws that need to be ironed out.I breathe bilaterally as I feel that it balances my stroke.Do the rest of you 1500m swimmers breathe that way or every two strokes??I wish that I lived nearer Gareth Eckley from Wales who posts on here.He has given me a lot of good advice but I guess that I really need a "coach" that can actually see where my fault are when I am swimming.I did join a Masters club in England during the summer but there was only one coach and 40 swimmers.He was just concerned with the "elite" swimmers,so I left as I could do just as well on my own.I have always fancied going to a swim clinic in the USA in the summer.Do people feel that they can learn a lot in a week to be able to change their swimming style permanently??
