To quote Gull: What is the right mix of technique and endurance for a Masters athlete (who wants to be competitive, say, at Nationals) with a finite amount of time to train?
Swimming for over 50 years and having been through the best of the best coaching,
I hope you find your best technical stroke, too. It will come.
Donna:
Nope. 40 years of coaching trumps your 50 years of swimming and good coaching when it comes to opining on technique and endurance. Who cares if you trained with Mark Spitz and Don Schollander?
Your technique does sound pretty fab with that long, smooth stroke with a low SPL. Much better than my own unsound high SR/lots of SDK technique. And of course, sprinting is a lesser sport. But, I'm glad despite our manifest differences, you're still my friend in the deep water. :wave:
