Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!! I can't crawl...
OK I need a few tips please:
I can do a mile of Breastroke with a 100yd sprint every300yds.
I need to get my crawl going for a bit of variety and I stink lol. My technique isn't too bad but I want to get a coach after xmas for a session or two, to really help me get timing down and such.
Should I breather every right arm stroke or every 4 (this iswhat I learned as a kid). I am normally gasping after a mere 25yds if I try every 4th. Should I tough it out and keep going until I build up better stamina or give in and take the breath more frequently?
Should I try reducing my breastroke distance to say half a mile and then work on crawl in sets, with boards and without etc? Right now I'll do 25 or 50 as a "gasper" after I am warmed up etc...
Last question, will I still float after all that turkey, pie and wine?? :D

OK the stretching thing seems to work well for me and I am now getting 50m done without feeling like I'm drowning. :groovy:
I was even keeping pace with some other crawlers in the next lane and passing a guy without trying in my lane :applaud: although they were doing distance. I was doing 1 lap every 4 laps of breaststroke for a mile...I'm really trying to find a good technique ...I know I cold probably crash out some more crawl but the form might suffer...
So I'll keep wokring on this...anyone have tips for increasing the endurance side of this....or should I just shut my eyes nd go for another 1/2 lap?
