On a somewhat related note. I know lots of decent pool swimmers who can't swim for shit in the ocean... but that's another thread altogether.
That is more my interst
It starts by training with short, hard efforts.
There is also changing from a tight, pretty gliding stroke to what I call the "gorilla" stroke. Big, wide, higher recovery, more powerful and adaptable timing to wave/current conditions. Watch some ITU races...
If this were the only way to do it, why are not all the folks who take masters, have coaches, etc. not swimming 20 in the 1.5K?
I just always love the advice to folks that it can ONLY be done one way for everyone, at any age, etc.
It was interesting to swim in Masters with some folks who would kill me in the pool with timed stuff. But some were always amazed when I beat some of them on race day in the swim. :)
