Swim Slow to BE Fast

Few coaches will deny that the key to fast swimming is training fast but unless you have an effective swimming technique the only thing you'll reach by training faster is mediocrity. The beginner or poor swimmer should use a majority of their training time on improving their technique and when they get more proficient add more yardage and more sprinting This is exactly where I am at. I can keep plowing through the water and focusing on sprint speed but I've finally realized there are fundamental flaws in my stroke that I need to correct. I've got less than two months left in the season and I have come to the realization that I probably won't reach the goal times I had set for myself. :frustrated: I don't know how quickly I can incorporate drastic changes and see a real benefit in time because it does seem like I need to swim slow to learn it because otherwise I would naturally revert to my bad habits.
