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 have a wierd situation. I actually swim with TWO teams. This is both for my specific needs and my schedule. Overall, I consider myself VERY lucky. I am a team guy all the way.
My son's team has a phenomenal coach, who is particularly oriented to technique. Unfortunately, most of his practices are weekday evenings. Luckily, he does one on Sundays and also one on early Monday AM. The rest of the week I am with our larger, established masters group. There is always a printed workout, and a lot of great people to share in the effort. I pay a fee for both teams but I find this to be a small price.
Then on Saturdays I get in 3000m (SCM) or so at our fitness club before lifting.
So I have the best of all worlds- technique, comaraderie, and flexibility. :groovy:
