Does anyone here swim?

<< < (2/2)

Cool Foot Luke:
I haven't in a while, but I worked my way up from a couple of laps to 2 miles continuously. Just do as much as you can, take a break at the wall if you need it, it WILL get easier.

Another thing to try is switching to breast stroke for a while if you run out of air. Sometimes a lap of breast stroke could keep me going for a few more laps of crawl. Backstroke could also work, but I'm absolutely terrible at backstroke.

I never really got the hang of flip turns.

MoCo:
I know this is old but I just saw this.  :)   I swim quite a bit so I'm happy to answer questions if you are still working on this.  Maybe PM me though since I'm rarely over here.

And what you want is an open turn - goswim has a great video series on how to do them.  I swim 20K yards a week and I don't flip turn.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx31AJjif0o
