I do not work out with a team and do all of my swimming solo. I use lots of workouts I have found on and through this forum and find them very helopful. I do not/have not competed, and am not sure that is in my future, but one never knows:rolleyes:
I know only a handful of actual drills, so when the workout calls for drills, I am at sowewhat of a loss. Can anyone direct me to a source for drills and explanations of how to do them? I'm up for anything that does not involve IM anything:wave:
Thanks for any help you may have for a floundering swimmer:bouncing:

I get some of my woprkouts from www.swimplan.com. They explain the drills they want you to do. Swimming was always my second or third sport. I was never very fast but very dependable. I had a colectomy in 1997. Now swimming is my only sport. running is impossible because I get nauseous and my knees are now too old & beaten up for basketball and there is no real lake or water body in eastern Illinois to row in. At first I felt very weird about having these two odd scars on my belly that sort of look like a icasso painting. Then I realized that people are more freaked out by seeing me do a breathing treatment during a meet than the scars. Most people at meets don't even realize that you have never raced or even what race you are doing. Race! Racing is why you do the drills.
