I think you can come for a week or 2 for free, just to try it out. That would be enough time for our coach to tell you why you're lower on one side than the other. Whee, free coaching! Have you tried some TI drills to find out what is different in your positioning and roll on the low side? You should come swim with us at TWIN for a bit.

My intention is to get under 3:30 and then think about what it's going to take to move further down. Unfortunately, I think that my ceiling is just around the corner.. So, we'll just have to take it one race at a time. ;) A back sprain sound really painful for a swimmer. Yikes! As for my bilateral breathing work, I'm thinking that I can get it done. If I can figure out <em>why</em> I'm lower in the water on the right, then things would be progressing nicely. As it is, I have to pull my head up a bit to get to the surface and sometimes that's more successful then other times. ;) EC,

I'll be watching for a BQ! P.S. Lots of us fail to become bilateral breathers. Not that it's the best thing in the world, but it is quite common. I'm pretty convinced the one-sided habit has contributed to past and likely future injury due to muscle imbalance. However, after spraining my back (I'm not kidding) last fall trying VERY GENTLY (seriously) to work on my bilateral breathing . . . let's just say I remain a one-sided breather. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Woo hoo! I’ll be watching for a BQ!
