I like swim smooth too. My husband has gotten a ton out of that site (he bought one of the DVD's). GREAT for visualization and the survey to learn your 'type' was spot on (even though it surprized me at the time).

CC - I haven't done any land-based exercises that are swim specific, but I am working on my core which I can tell needs work (both when I swim and when I am in aero on my bike).

Becky - I used to have the same problem...I could do a few laps close to perfect and then things would fall apart. I actually kind of used that point as a stopping point for awhile. I just swam more often but for shorter times. My thought process was that I didn't want to 'learn' the wrong way, so I did as much of the right way as I could and then I'd stop (or work on more drills). Each time, I could go further before it started to come apart! Now I am getting close to getting a full workout in decent form (but I'm still not quite there).
