Are the suits really the best $500 value out there ?
Ok - the Blue 70 is $390, but you many people buy two, just in case the other one rips -- the LZR is what ? $600 -- so, I figured $500 was a nice round number.
Other ways to get faster for $500:
- hire a personal coach for weekly lessons > you should be able to find a good college swimmer with a good eye for technique for some indivual instructions. You learn very little in a group setting - and coaches only have so much time for each swimmer.
- join a gym -- I guess it depends on location, but you should be able to pay for about a year - no personal trainer for that budget though...
- do the swimetrics + a couple of coached sessions > I did try it - great info, a must for anybody
- read Ande's blog and thread on how to get faster and donate the money
- join a faster, bigger, better team -even if you have to drive further ($500 would be gas money) > this can work wonders..
Any of those better than the suits ?
Think MCTRUSTY meant swimming in a meet away from home - at sea level for faster times.
That can work and lots of athletes do it!
Going UP to race at altitude rarely works... but training at altitude is challenging and coming down can be a huge relief - and makes for fast times.
Yep, that's what I meant.
