I always do my pool training focused on the 400 IM and 400 free, with occasional seasons when I focus on the 800 up to 1500. I would never do a long...

Sorry for my ambiguity. I took up open water swimming only because I didn't have pool access. I enjoyed the social aspect of it, which was a large...

:) Fascinating. I was thinking "recovery swim for 45min-1hr" when I typed 3km. Maybe 30min easy/recovery swims? 1500m? Anyone? The books I...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :) You might see me swim 800 continuously, but if you do it's a warmup. And even then it's probably broken up...

I second (third?) the idea that a video would help, but meanwhile, here's a question: When you pull with your arms, are you also trying to pull your...

a long time ago (1983-1987) in a galaxy far far way (a very nice 50m pool in socal) where i was training and the group i was training with did lactic...

Video would definitely ID the cause have you tried br kicking on back with hands at sides?

Hey Otter - Do you have some video of your breast stroke?

The fact they are not sanctioned means no one will record any of the times officially. So, then it's really "just for fun". May as well swim with...

absolutely NOT when it comes to meters. period. and in some cases usms rules are actually more strict than fina. now for yards...which is...
