The IM Lane

ande
IMers, We're Jacks & Jills of all trades Fly back *** free We gotta have speed but we gotta last to finish fast. It takes strategy & conditioning. We train equal amounts of all 4 or have a fatal flaw. We try to make our worst stroke not so bad. It's worked well for Ryan Michael Eric, Ariana Kirsty & Stephony What did you do in practice today? the breastroke lane The Middle Distance Lane The Backstroke Lane The Butterfly Lane The SDK Lane The Taper Lane The Distance Lane The IM Lane The Sprint Free Lane The Pool Deck

  • I do the bucket turn alot because I need the air. I'm a breaststroker who is training in IM for my first pentathlon. I hire a coach (very part-time) to help me with my strokes, starts and turns. During our last session, he coached me on IM transitions; particularly the back-to-*** transition. He is teaching me open turns for everything, because I have Meniere's and get too dizzy if I do any more than a few flip turns in a short period of time. (I figured that out when I made myself "seasick" practicing flip turns. I didn't have Meniere's when I used to compete in high school swimming...) Learning open turns and IM transitions isn't too difficult, if you already have a solid breaststroke turn. I've been working hard on it, so it has really helped my other open turns.
