Ouch! I came in dead last,...3 hr, 31 minutes. 42 minute miles. The guy who won did it is 1 hr. 44 minutes. In May I took a Total Immersion Swim Clinic and have changed the way I swim...2 beat kick,.. neutral head,..trying to streamline and such,..but my time was over a half hour longer than last year. One thing I will say is that I could have swam further,..I wasn`t as tired as last year. Should I continue with this method of swimming? I never was a fast swimmer, I only enter races because it is exciting.

    i agree with patrick. when i started working on a 2 beat kick, there was a period of adjustment and it actually took more effort than a six beat. after a couple of years, it is second nature and i can turn it on or off without skipping a beat (i know... the pun)
