Where is the swim camp? I have never been to the Ida Lee pool, but have to file that away for future reference. The Anne Arundel County pool out in Annapolis is also great.

So I went to New Paltz for two days for instruction in the TI method. It was fun and informative but all done in an Endless Pool. haven't been able to get to a full pool since, so I don't know how well this will work. it's also clear that I have a lot of practicing to do before I can consistently do this correctly.

Anyway, on Monday I will test drive the method to the extent that I can and see if my times improve.

It took me a while to get comfortable with the stroke and to learn to glide. TI is all about using energy efficiently. I don't know if you've seen this video, but this is what got me started.

I'm trying to get back into shape after far too long off. I swam 1500 yards at lunchtime today in an indoor pool. It was a toasty 80 inside, 14 outside.

1650 meters today at a pool I hadn't been to before. I dislike lap swimming when the pool is half rec swimming, but I got a decent workout in.
