This fall and winter I want to get to the next (low) level of swimming and was wondering if anyone could recommend a resource (preferably online) which might lay out technique drills with explanations/photos detailing the drills.

Come to one of the winter stroke clinics that either Rob or Alison and myself are running this winter. There's really no substitute for having a person watching and critiquing your stroke. I know that's not really the answer to the question you asked, but I'm just not sure that what you're looking for can be acquired by just reading a website. With that said though, there are a few websites that can be helpful. Once I get back from being out of town I'll post some here (although a reminder might be helpful ) -Steve

I am in northern Summit County (under Mountain Lion watch) and I just can't find a way to make my prime responsibilities subservient to my hobby (d**n it!). Instead of endlessly trying to find something that might fit with my mad schedule, I wanted to read up and then perhaps have some private lessons on an as needed basis.

People rave about "total immersion". Might be right up for alley.

Live training is the only way to go. You just reinforce bad habits by practicing without someone who knows what they are doing watching and correcting you. Once you know what to do then you can improve.

I agree with Steve - there is no substitute for live training - I live in Copley and plan to go to Rob's clinics on Sundays - if that is not feasible for you check into some of the master swim programs in the area - I work out at Akron General Health and Wellness - there is also the new Summa center and the fitness center on Darrow road

SP This is the route I am going. I didn't mean to imply some sort of "virtual training" to supplement or even augment my "live" training. I think virtual content will help me better understand the live training. I think it may enhance my training experience by better comprehending why the paint is applied to the canvas in that way.
