i have been reading a lot of the posts herein.... and it has occurred to me... (and this will surely betray my newbie-ness) there are an awful lot of abbreviations and terms used that leave me essentially having no clue what was said.... is there a book out there someplace "swimese for dummies" or the like? i speak several languages, sadly swimese is not yet among them.....
i can swim two miles comfortably, and have energy left over after to go run three miles... but decode the posts on this board?....
any reference/resource suggestions gladly accepted...
thanks.
be,
jim
When someone says the 2fly- they mean the 200 fly. (can be used for other strokes too)
If you don't understand what the coach says, ask him/her to explain it. Most coaches don't mind and will probably take you under their wing and be honored to teach you about their favorite sport! Masters swimmers are pretty eager to help each other too. We're all very passionate about our sport and want everyone to love it like we do!
