Does anyone have any experience with doing workouts in OW that aren't oriented toward distance freestyle?
I've got the ocean out my front door, and the water is warm enough July and August which happen to be the months my club is shut down for the summer, and the pool is a 45min drive away and closed on weekends so it seems to make sense, but I'm not that into distance free every swim, but I'm a little lost with no set distances or pace clocks...
Also, does anyone else's neck seem to get stiff and sore from OW swimming? Is that from exagerated movements to ensure I get air instead of a wave when I breath? Or perhaps holding my head higher than normal in hopes of spotting the jellyfish? Or some other stroke flaw? Anything I can do out of the water to reduce the problem?
When I lived in Guam, we did ocean work outs as a part of our end of summer training before going from 50m to 25yd pools.
it was mostly swimming with sneakers on, and running with wet shoes in the sand.
it's been a long time, but what I remember getting out of it was that the walls seem to come so much faster in a 25yd pool after swimming in the ocean for 1-2 weeks.
