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?

20 years on my own & 12 with teams has made me MUCH better! I would never work myself as hard as I do with the team & lane mates that push me even harder ! It's more fun as well.
I train alone because I used to train with a team so I basically train the same way I used to train with a team.
Having said that, I do tend to cut myself more slack that my coach did:D
