Total newbie to "structured" swimming, did plenty of paddling as a kid, but took up some triathlon training towards the end of last summer and did a couple of sprint tris. Very much fit the definition of adult onset swimmer. Really enjoying swimming in one way, but the grind it out attitude I can use for running and biking not paying off so getting frustrating at times now.
I'm just about a 2:00/100m swimmer over about 1,000m, but definitely feel like I need a lot more technique and finesse to progress. First time on video today so interesting seeing how much I'm rolling and haven't started the guppy plans yet, but that's my next step.
First simple self diagnosis at the moment is too much movement when breathing left/right. Would love some feedback about what and where to focus.
