I found someone online to practice TI drills with... a "TI Buddy" =)
Does anyone have any suggestions for doing this effectively? We're going to swim together probably once a week for an hour.
- Should we do 30 minutes with one swimming and the other watching, and then switch, or should we constantly switch?
- What's the best way to notice and correct someone else's body position/head position/kicking/rotation in a given drill?
- Any other comments? Has anyone tried this before?

That is a skill all into itself. Try swimming next to a 6-7 former Olympian. Nicest guy in the world, but there is quite a wake! I have perfected the timing of not breathing in the short time it takes him to speed past me!
I have trouble 'predicting' when the pool is going to sink me 6" under on backstroke, and often times, it'll be right when I was about to take a breath.
How do you do it?
I hear all of this "breath in on one stroke, out on the other" .... well that's nice, but my pattern is more like "breathe in whenever there isn't some huge wave washing over my face"
