Yes I know USMS is my best bet to becoming a better swimmer. Let’s put that option to the side for a moment.
What other options will help somebody become better/faster at swimming?
I know there’s more. Just curious what people are using.
Do need to improve technique (for both speed and efficiency) and speed
I’d go with Tower26 if I was to choose an online program.
I’ve heard them mentioned, but don’t know enough about them. I’ll add them to my list.

+1 best $ spent for online swimming…scalable, plenty of video to accompany the workouts and the use of A, B and C level workouts so helps you schedule the week

I’m using swimsmooth and really liking it. I love the structured program and the videos of all the drills

Do you have the apple watch? Partially why I’m considering them since it’s supposed to give form feedback.
No, I don’t. I thought about adding it, but you have to swap wrists in the middle of the workout to get data for both hands. Plus with my Fenix I can program in the swim workouts with the split times, rest times etc.

I have a 945 so I’d try that as well.
Also what happens if you don’t switch? Can you just make a note that was the left/ride side? For your record?
80/20 Endurance just released swim plans via TP. Comes with drill videos. Looking to get started on mine soon.

Correction. I’m thinking of picking a plan and am torn between Effortless and Swimsmooth. The price difference of these two versus Tower26 is substantial. I hear you do get coach feedback at T26 though.
I just did a trial with Swimsmooth, and as a slower swimmer found the insights immediately helpful so signed up for month-to-month. TBD if I like it enough long term, and I haven’t yet tried any “sessions”. That said, the feedback on arm position and extension and rotation etc. was helpful enough to knock time off my pace immediately vs. trying to visualize where my arms are without anyone external. YMMV
