My Forum

PP (not trying to kill the sale Stephen K - honest ) I Did actually pick up a copy of  "Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way to Swim Better, Faster and Easier" last week for £1.60 + £.1.95 postage from ebay which I reckoned was on a par with picking it up in a charity shop - have only read first few chapters and am finding it a bit evangelical I await the see the results when I try to apply the principals in the pool

Kavanagh - as someone who dips in and out of this forum I am at a loss to follow the example you set in your entry yesterday as I havn't a clue what "TI" stands for 

Thanks everyone - looks as if I am not alone in poisoning my CV system when in the pool !!!! (wonder what else I can do for - what I like to call - "fun")

Blisters - interesting comment about retained CO2 I'm finding that when breathing bilaterally (every 3rd stroke) I experience the equivalent sensation to anaerobic exercise (running 400m) in the legs and have to fight the urge to thrash about - more than my natural "style" - is this a symptom of excess CO2? 

 I do find that, even thou I'm trying to exhale all through the stroke, I tend to do a huge blow out and inhale at every turn (25m) - any suggestions ?

None of the foregoing effects have been present when I breathed every second stroke.
