Hi everyone,
I just joined the site and have to say great group. Was a stalker until today.
I wish I had the time to join a masters, especially after hearing of the astronomical improvements people make, immediately after joining such groups.
My question is, aside from reading books and the net. What else would you all recommend to improve my form. I started swimming with a purpose 3 years ago, did a few OW triathlons and finally did my first dedicated OW 1mi swim. OMG! - What an eye opener. I finished 102 of 108.
I have a new goal of moving up to at least a middle of the pack (preferrably front of pack), one day....in this life time.
I've come a long way since I started, when I was winded after 25yd but this race, this past week proved how much further I have to go still.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Yes,get someone knowlegable to look at your stroke. You might want to get videotaped and post it here for comments. Swimming by yourself the pace clock is your best friend.I totally agree with RTODD,get pace and form and then increase distance.
