So right now in my swimming "career" - I know how to swim freestyle decently. I have some adjustments to make to the stroke and a lot of strength to build up, but I can swim it for at least a mile straight without feeling like I'm going to die.
I'm learning back, from my IndySwimFit video, I have a lot of learning to do. 100 Back is killer on me in terms of cardio... (25 is rough enough), the same goes with *** stroke although - 50 is a little easier, but I'm insanely slow.
I do not know how to do butterfly, and the thought of doing it is for some reason scary! :afraid:
I'm not sure what's the best way to go about this. Do I focus on back and *** and learning them to the point where I can at least do them pretty well THEN learn butterfly? Or do I just work butterfly into my repertoire now and then work on all 3 of them simultaneously? (Have you ever tried to do butterfly on your back with *** stroke arm movements? Its insane! :rofl:)
Are you on a masters team ? You should be , the coach will work on all 4 strokes & drills.
Yeah - we don't do strokes consistently during practices. That's why I'm learning to do my strokes as much as I can on my own. (See my "Sprints and Strokes blog post")
This is probably also a consequence of the fact that we only have 3 practices a week as well - so focusing on freestyle is probably what most of the other swimmers on the team want.
