I wonder how many times I'm going to have to tell people "look, I can't swim and there's nothing that can be done about that" they'll believe me. Jesus. If you don't have the ability, you don't. Its as simple as that. Well I could argue that as swimming is more a skill that can be trained with time and perseverance and some pointers on technique that anyone can learn to swim well... however it is obvious you actually do NOT enjoy swimming so I can understand not wanting to what would be excessive amounts of time on something that gives you no pleasure. But... I know your position on that... so I would just take the polite approach and say thanks or just ignore it. Or turn it back on someone... everyone likes to talk about themselves ie. "Congratulations on the improvements youve made". Then its not about you, its about them... Actually, if I wanted to swim more efficiently, what you're saying makes great sense, but I do not feel, from what I've tried in drills, looked at in Total Immersion, etc. that its going to make me a FASTER swimmer - and if its not going to do that, its pointless. What I'm saying is I'll be a slow swimmer, no matter what, and having a little more energy coming out of the water on the bike isn't going to make up for the time I lose swimming. I disagree... a slight change to the hand poistion in the catch and pull (for example) can actually give you FREE SPEED... Technique = speed in swimming... efficiency too but first and foremost (from a benefits in racing perspective) it is FREE SPEED!!! Let me tell you... if you feel like you are battling the water instead of gliding through it then there are changes to be made. And Ive seen it happen with people who tell me they cannot swim or they will always be slow too many times not to be a beleiver... However... I know how YOU feel about swimming and I know you get limited enjoyment out of the process... I think its a matter or respecting others experiences and opinions... while not getting frustrated yourself. (even where you disagree) If you ever decide to give it another go make sure you get in person training with someone... not a book or a video for starters... Id say not enjoying swimming is a perfectly good reason for not doing it! Edited by kaqphin 2008-05-13 7:03 PM |
