Well every 3 strokes I breathe. Alternate sides, sometimes every 5 or 7, I am playing with it to see what it right, but I swim slowly, I think my stroke to distance ratio is pretty poor, I count about 47 strokes for a 50 meter pool especially when I…
When it comes to building up your strength, endurance, or whatever you want to call it to be able to continually swim lengths without stopping (other than to turn around), for me, there was no simple solution....you have to practice!!! Don't get dis…
I don't know if this response is late for your work out or not but you can use it for your future work out. It's a bike run combo. The swim doesn't need to be right after the run but the run has to be right after biking so you get your legs used to…
Less than 2 years ago, I couldn't do 25 yards without stopping to breathe. It definitely took me a long time to learn to get over the "I'm drowning" sensation. I don't know what else to call it. I learned to swim slow first and learned to breathe on…
I would actually suggest that you start by breathing to one side, and breathe every stroke until you are able to establish a rhythm and build up enough endurance to go farther before having to stop. Also, see if you can't cut that rest in half, to 1…
Thanks for all your great comments.
I am a newbie at swiming and have been challenged by the breathing. I have decided to breath on both sides. Any comments on how I can shoot my endurance up. I get in the pool 3X a week and do 2 laps at a time nee…

- Hi Koosha,
Over three weeks I would suggest that you run as much as possible to maintain fitness, watch what you eat (be careful not to overeat), and then give yourself about 10-14 days when you get back to get back up to the comfort level on the bike that you have now.
You'll be able to run about 6-7x per week without cycling, and this will be a very efficient way to stay in shape. Feeling comfortable on the bike again when you return will probably take a couple of weeks and quite a few rides, but it will return eventually.
Have a great trip, stay healthy, and chart a course to get back into your training rhythm when you return.

I'm not looking to make this about career either, I only mentioned Stryker because of Dan's special need and the connection to orthopaedics. But quickly: take a look at www.stryker.com/careers to see what's available & meets your interest. You can then apply online & list me as a referring employee. The rest is out of my hands.
Good Luck keep at the training.
Aaron
