I'm relatively new to swimming and I'm facing a dilema: as bike racing season begins I need to cut back on my swimming, but I don't want to lose all progress I've made over the winter.
I'm not worried about losing fitness so much as technique. For that matter, I don't want to tire myself enough to hinder other training. So what would be my best bet for just three hours a week or so of swimming? Slow short sets and drills?
Any ideas would be a help. Thanks.
