Ande's virtual coaching

Curious about how many people used Ande's virtual coaching for Nationals, and which tips helped most. This could also be known as isobel's cliff notes for Ande's swimming tips. Muchas gracias.

  • OK. I'll be more honest. Ahelee, what were the most important things Ande suggested to you, since you blew the field away in many events that I also swim? I love Ande's swimming tips, but I need a cheat sheet. How to choose which of the many things to work on? Kicking, yes, kicking very important. Sprinting, yes, sprinting at practice more than once or twice before meets very important. Dolphin kicking very important. Working my turns very important. Swimming fast at practice to swim fast at meets very important. Ande knows it is summer here in Boston and now I am a menace on the Charles River Basin in my Mercury sailboat at Community Boating, potentially crashing into the Duck Boats and definitely terrified of docking and going downwind. There is no hope of a blizzard until next January, so my obsession with swimming is likely to strengthen. I have translated some Spanish posts on GoSwimWeekly, probably butchering them, but it was fun. But how to pick which of Ande's tips to work on when everything about my swimming needs improvement? I could never swim the 400 IM, for example, if I did not do 100s of fly, because I need to work on endurance, and even if I sprint lots of 25s, I don't seem to get the endurance needed for the 100. I am wanting people's cliff notes for Ande's tips but perhaps that's cheating. And often this is what I want to do: YouTube - zoe sleeping in In fact, this is my true character, not a swimmer or sprinter but a Boston terrier sleeper. I do hope to get a puppy soon. You all will know it. I am sure you are extremely interested....
