How many of you swim on your own and have had success stories? Masters PB's or better, perhaps? What difficulties do you face on your own?
I have often heard people give the advice to join a team, stating that the friendly competition is good motivation. Is it possible to be motivated enough whilst training by yourself and really excel?
I think you have to swim when your life, family, work, etc allow. When you have found that time that works for your swimming if there is a coached team available I tend to believe that you will benefit more from that versus flying solo.
Some people can also train solo very effectively. This is not the case with me in the least.
