The following question was put forth and I thought I'd pass it along for your collective comments and remarks.
" I am mediocre female Masters swimmer in my mid 50’s. I had no experience in coached or competitive swimming before I was 40.
There are many things I can work on in my attempt to improve my swimming—technique (including clinics and videotaping), strength, flexibility, cross training, and aerobics. There is not enough time to work on them all. Is there some way to find out where my time would be best spent? Or is there some general pattern of weaknesses for swimmers such as myself?"
The swimmer has been training for approximately 10 years and does regularly compete. Due to time constraints, she wants to get the largest return on her investment so we come to you all.

My two cents:
1. Technique
2. Technique
3. Technique
4. Technique
5. Strength training
and
6. more technique....
and I also agree with the rest of your post. I think cross-training has its place especially for tri-athletes, but it sounds like she wants to improve her swimming.
my 2 cents....:D
