Yeah, I had heard of "Safe Sea" before but never tried it. So, IVO your mention of it, I decided to order some. Maybe it'll work...maybe it won't....

Please get another opinion! Never trust doctors who are quick to jump to surgery and offer terminal advice. Even if you must undergo surgery, there...

Here's some tips http://www.neilmed.com/neilmedblog/2011/07/swimming-sinus-pain/ you mighgt want to consider using a neti pot sometime a few hours...

If you know in a race what your UDK count for the last length should be, do enough lengths with that number of UDKs to get a stroke count. When your...

Maybe pull buoys should be avoided until stroke is developed. I’ve been swimming now over a decade but I have yet to try the buoy, probably because...

It kinda is the same thing as lifting, the difference is gravity doesn’t overcome the fatigue. In swimming isn’t this called lactate production...

But unlike in lifting, there is no "failure" point. So how do you "know" when you hit that point? To elaborate, as I do a set with a lot of reps,...

I would tend to agree. I'll use a pull buoy for some sculling and pulling drills, but it's just crutch if you're using it to improve your body...

Pull buoys will not help you with body position as they artificially raise your lower body. Furthermore, exactly as you have experienced, they...

You are not alone. I can’t either very well. It feels like my body is in a unnatural position even with the lightest one of the 3 sizes where I work...

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful responses. It makes sense that you have to get to fail state some. I guess figuring out the frequency of that...

I agree with sunruh. I had surgery to repair a torn labrum when I was 34. I'm 50 and swimming just fine. It took 1 year to get back to racing, 2...

I'm not trying to be cute here, but maybe the whatever issues you have with your body position are what prevents you from using the pull buoy...

Sounds to me like that could be a symptom of poor core strength, along with possibly a mismatch between when your shoulders and hips are rotating,...

Try to rotate just your neck and head to breathe. The pull buoy should not change body rotation .

Try to work past the perfect stroke to fatigue. Like in lifting, you need to stress the muscles to make them grow.

You've gotten some good advice already. Another idea for you, is to maybe alternate a fast one and a steady one with good form? For instance do...

I train 4-5 times per week, with one of those practices being with the senior group of the age group team I coach. That practice is with the distance...
