Which do you prefer, traing with a team or swimming alone? I'm not asking which one you do but rather which one you like better, so if your not on a team but would like to be answer team.
Personally I like writing my own workouts and doing what I need to work on.
I prefer a team with a coach. I need motivation to keep pushing myself and thats what the coach provides, and he can see what I am or am not doing correctly. Its amazing how I think I am doing something so perfectly and then he tells me I am not. I know I would not be in the condition I am in now if not for him :notworthy: . Before I was able to join a team, I would ocassionally swim laps while my daughter was at swim practice. I improved my conditioning, but not much and I know my strokes did not improve. My coach now even has me doing 'nasty' butterfly :eek: . I can do 100 yds now. Before this December, the longest butterfly I had ever swim in my life was a 25 :shakeshead: .
