How much endurance training?

Ballet Dancer on the Fly: I think "you had me at hello." And no, I think you're a right serious swimmer who is gonna give me a good whipping soon in the elegant stroke you love and I suck at. And I stick up for my family. Your jests reflect a clever mind, however unmindful they appear. :joker: By "Forkless" are you indicating that my parries have no point? :laugh2: I do believe, however, that there are some technique drills you could do that have nothing whatsoever to do with building endurance. (Endurance doesn't happen just by swimming up and down the pool anyway.) Try the caterpillar drill. That'll take you a half an a hour or so per 50 if done properly. The point of many drills is to do them slowly, not quickly. Anything done real slowly is not real likely to result in mega-endorphins and sore muscles and expanded lungs. Having just purveyed relevant information, I will now Peace out, Forkless I think I mean that swimming hard on endurance too is a technique. In ballet you do everything in slow motion and quarter distances until you build up the strength, flexibility and skill to perform the real deal. I would reccomend it to anyone here as a crosstrain. Balance, coordination, timing, strength and awareness of what your body is doing are found in both activities. Furthermore, and Terry will like this, to me if there was ever a sport that is close to ballet it is swimming at it's most elegant and powerful.
