when I swim at a middle distance race pace, like if im doing 5 x 100 on a quick interval my muscles get tired faster than my heart. I wont even be breathing hard but my arms are tired and causes my stroke techinque to go bad quick. Does anyone else have this problem.

i type really slow, so 10 others will probably address this before my paragraph is ready.
everyone needs to finish their stroke, the difference here is how, and where you think about it.
terry and george will both correct me if i am off track here but this is how i see it:
george: stroke finishes at the hip or waiste or ribs.
this suggests "pushing oneself forward"
terry: stroke finishes at that place just before the catch.
this suggests "darting oneself forward"
Pretty good assement however I like the finish to happen quite low almost even with the groin but l like the hand to roll out to be closer to mid thigh, now does it make any differrence for a sprinter or a distance swimmer? I was a sprinter, a mid distance and a marathon swimmer my stroke has changed very slightly over the years. I teach the finish probably more than any other thing when doing stroke correction. Once the client has a good finish I then start getting the effort to stop just below the waist but insisist on a complete roll out at the thigh.
