Sometimes it fun to zoom out, and take a look back to where my swim journey started. Here is a Reddit post asking for some advice on how to improve my technique. Since posting this, I have swum about 400 miles over the past 2 years, and got my comfortable pace down to ~ 1:30 min/100 yards.
Hi All,
I started swimming more frequently last year preparing for a half distance triathlon (Augusta, GA, USA), and have another race planned for October this year (Beach to Battleship, NC, USA). I am looking for some form/suggestions/ideas/advice based on the videos I have included below.
While speed is important, with the race being 1.2 miles / 2000 yards / 1.9km, its not the most important aspect (maybe I am wrong?).
Some context if it helps?

– In a short pool (20 yard, no pushing) my “comfortable”/Zone 2 pace is 1:51/100 yards – 1000 yards @ avg of 138bpm
