One of the swimmers I work with recently took part in her first big ocean race. Angela went through a lot to get to the start of the race (like a fear of swimming in the ocean). She did the work in the pool, improved her technique and her fitness, and even more important, improved her belief in herself as a swimmer. She is allowing me to share her race report from her first race with you... When the race official "literally" drew a line in the sand a massive wall of people manned the line and I was immediately pushed to the back of the pack!

Better Freestyle Swimming By Swimming On Your Side Better Freestyle Swimming By Swimming On Your Side originally appeared on About.com Swimming on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 00:31:25.
When we learned to swim freestyle as children, most of us swim flat in the water, with little or no hip rotation as our arms are doing the majority of the work. Many triathletes and open water swimmers have found it necessary to change their stroke and swim more on their sides in order to conserve energy, swim faster, and get through potential rough water conditions with greater ease. Swimming freestyle on your side may seem like a foreign concept at first. But with consistent practice, you will be able to swim more efficiently, resulting in faster swim times and greater energy conservation.
