TI nearly made me totally give up swimming, I got so lost in rotation that I forgot how to go forward but other better swimmers than me swear it is brilliant. I do however really suck at swimming :¬) |

I have got the TI book, and I struggle to swim like it - I think for me it would work if I had someone actually telling me when I was doing it right or wrong - I got a bit bamboozled with all the Zipper Underswitch/Overswitch blah blah. I do however think that if I could do it properly it is the way fwd!!

I like Maglischo's Swimming Fastest (but it is an enormous tome). TI is a good self-improvement book. Probably the best thing you can do to improve is to get some coaching - either 1-2-1 lessons or join a tri club or a masters swimming team.

Or get involved in Fetch Swimmy Challenges, of course!

When does the next one start? I might be able to be in it again at last.

AC - I'm so bad I went backwards at masters and tri club swimming. I did make progress doing a 121 course though |

How would people feel about going longer for the next challenge? I'm hoping to improve my endurance this year, so I was thinking of a 1 mile challenge.

A few pages back I proposed a 50/200/800 challenge - people don't seem to post in many times for the longer swims. Can't say that the internet's really been on fire with the response though. Maybe a handicap race based on previous times?
