Expert  713   Lake in the Hills, IL |  Subject: Open water swims suckI'll start off by saying I am not a good swimmer to begin with. The fastest I can do a mile in the pool is 32 minutes. When it comes to open water swimming I am even worse. I did a mile and a half and it took 57 minutes. My fist mile was 38 minutes. So I need to get out there more and get these times down. It is so aggravating. Sorry for the rant. |

Expert 859 Perth, Australia | Subject: RE: Open water swims suck sympathies from another terrible swimmer, but, it can only get better. I've just started getting some coaching with a tri club and it turns out I cross my arms over my head and wiggle through the water like a snake. Pointing my hands to corner of the pool feels wierd and it uses different muscles but at least I now know what I'm doing wrong. Hang in there but I agree, it sucks. |
