Has anyone been here:http://www.swimshack.co.uk/It looks expensive, but could be what I'm looking for.  I do TI at the moment, well at least I think I do.  I could do with having someone look at my swim stroke and pointing me in the right direction

Because of a major flaw in my decision making process, I have just booked a piloted slot on a neap tide in August 2013, to swim the Channel.Apart from activities undertaken on alcohol fuelled evenings, I am struggling to think of anything more

Did anybody see this on channel 5 last night?Although it was for a good cause I cant but think that swimming a couple of 1 hour stints with a wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins is'nt that difficult at all. What does everybody else think? I thought

So training it going well, and I seem to have found my legs for running and cycling. Now I have to concentrate on my swimming. I have all winter so I'm not overly concerned but I am wondering, what were you swim times for Sprint and Olympic

I have been unable to run for the last 4 weeks (lower back problem) but have substituted my running with swimming. Unbelievably having gone from a 50 miles a week trail runner to a 4 times a week for an hour swimmer, i have actually lost 4 pounds

I'm soon to start swimming in earnest preparation for UKIM 2007. I've never done any remotely competitive swimmingin my life, so am a certified novest imo.I have worn a number of pairs of gogglesin my life, and have never found them anygood

Did quite a bit of swimming before Tokyo marathon and going to do a good bit in this gap before London marathon. Apart from the fact its quite good to do so0mething else, swimming defo helps my breathing and strength in other areas as well

Can any one advise me i'm doing swimming and still running i would like to know how much swimming i should be doing , this is only to help my fitness for the runnning , and this is the first time i'v swam for years . As much as you want, steven. Pop
