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.
Dr. Haljand seems to be advocating the I-Pull to the S-Pull in this video, and that's the way I'd swim it.
I seem to recall that George advocated the I-pull in a recent thread. The S-pull is really old school.
I frankly don't think it's ideal to learn swimming only from a book either. DVDs or video clips here could help if the coaching situation is sub-par. Try some GoSwim DVDs. Get all the advice you can. I think Terry's coming out with a new book on Endurance swimming too. I feel for you on the college coach situation. My coach was a distance freestyler too, and that's all we were subjected to. I hated it, and had some arguments with her over what sets I should have been doing. So, it may be your training, not just your technique, that needs adjusting. You could do some searches on this forum too. There's a lot of stuff on freestyle stroke questions and technique. But remember, I still think sprinters show up most at taper time.
Hey, Morgan, I thought you just had a good meet?
