I’m an AOS swimmer and have heard great things about Tower 26 from both the forum and youtube. My question is I’m a pretty awful swimmer (race pace is around 1:50/100) and I’d really like to get better. For those of you that either have a coach and/or have done T26, which do you think would be a better investment? I’ve taken the odd private swim lesson but without consistent swimming and lessons I find I fall back into my old habits quickly. Maybe structured swim workouts would help?? Thanks!
Your best approach is to get regular on-deck feedback of your stroke (at 1:50/100 (scy, I assume), you are definitely doing something(s) wrong). Failing that, you are likely to habituate your stroke flaws and make them harder to correct going forward. It’s a truism in swimming that you are not doing (stroke-wise) what you think you are doing.
Totally agree. Your first few video analysis sessions will be horrifying.
