![]() Yes, I'm italian and actually swim ow only in summer. OW swimming is not much popular where I live, I hardly ever find other swimmers "training" in ow when I go. But those few ow events they organize in summer are full of super fast pool swimmers who are fast in ow as well (despite not swimming in ow): people who swim 5k in 1h something. Where do you live instead, to have your ow season closing in 2 weeks? I love ow swimming but for training and improving as a swimmer nothing beats the pool imho. Cheers, Salvo |

@Salvo I spend the Australian summer in Tasmania but now I return to my home in Brisbane. Those 5km an hour people are just showing off. I have swum in a lot of places in Italy (just solo) I have even swum at Fiumicino a couple of times. (Lido di Ostia) Not exactly a pristine aquatic environment. Warren |

![]() Focal point (to concentrate awareness on, as in: palms up on recovery, or head floating in the water, or elbows leading on recovery, etc.) Usually you pick one at a time to concentrate on and see what you learn from that, and how it affects your swimming.

![]() Thanks for your replies, it is really good to be able to get other perspectives.
I have made some progress and have got my 100m pace down from above 3.0 down to 2.5. Went through 'Shinji's Open Water Speed Up' and am not spearing so deeply and have used the catch set up that he recommends. This works well and has allowed me to get a higher stroke rate going. Yes, FP of course, I usually rotate through these as I am swimming and after maybe get a CT (choc top) @Salvo. Lake Albano looks like a place I should swim next time I am close to Roma. Have swum in lakes Bracciano, Transimeno and very briefly in Como (cold, polluted and speed boat dangerous) |
