I just watched a great video entitled Swim Slow to Be Fast. I found it to be very interesting and sound advice. It is primarily meant for Tri Atheletes and distance swimmers..

Even without opening this thread, seeing the title was enough to get a(n almost totally random) song stuck in my head. All morning I have been hummingYou gotta be cruel to be kind...
... in the right measure...
I'm pretty sure the last time I heard that song was at my neighborhood pool as a 12-and-under, the summer that it was all over the radio....cruel to be kind...
...is a very, very, very good sign
Since I'm now obligated to say something on-topic, I'll point out that many triathletes have the mantra that long, slow distance training is only good for training you to race slow.
...cruel to be kind...
...means that I love you...
Many are tempted to carry their run & bike training plans over to the pool, without realizing that drag trumps aerobic fitness in the water. I agree that some "slow" work on technique can often pay bigger dividends than thrashing through another sprint set....baaayyy beee...
...you gotta be cruel...
