hi just started swimming again swam tons as a kid but no racing or anything like that. i am trying to just be able to do a 100 but at this point 50 just kills me because i cant slow down:D my wife says i look spastic with all the splashing i do kicking and such. is there a trick to going slower but still kicking or should i just try to build my endurance at the pace im going. by the way i do not ven know what my fast (to me) pace is. thanks very much just a newbie hoping to get enough swimming under my belt to go to a masters class:)

    first chance in the water since i wrote these questions and i did pick up the TI book from the library. read the first part but have not gotten to the drills yet. my little swim this AM i was trying to reach more and to me at least i did seem gracefull. still got tired but on my last 25 i felt that my shoulder came out of the water when i rolled (is that right) and when i got to the end i did not seem as out of breath. if i had more time i would have tried more laps but had to go . thanks for writing ken
