Hi -
I'm a transplanted San Franciscan, now living in India for a few years. I've just started swimming in a 25 meter pool and am trying to use the workouts on this forum but they seem a little too technical for me. What's a split? A pull? IM?
I am a strong swimmer (used to swim in the SF Bay) and have done triathlons but I've never done real swim training. Right now I just get in the pool and swim freestyle for an hour a day but its getting really monotonous.
Can anyone recommend a workout or guide for a beginner that explains in detail what the different drill techniques are exactly?
Thank you so much.
Hi! Some of the terms and drill descriptions can be found by looking at the "sub-forums" under the Workouts forums (Workouts - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums). The coaches have "sticky notes" that float to the first entry on their pages, before recent posts, and these have some good info. Check each one out and you should be able to get a good idea of some of the alphabet soup that you find in other posts.
Keep swimming!
