Now that those long, warm summer days seem to be behind us and the bike has been assigned to the back of the garage, I thought that now might be a good time to focus on improving my (poor) swimming technique over the winter months.
I am struggling to find any suitable swimming classes locally, and also am having difficulty in translating the wealth of information and advice available on the Net to my technique in the water.
Can anyone recommend any good videos/DVD's that might help with technique? Has anybody found these useful? It just seems to me that ploughing up and down the pool swimming with poor technique is wasted time!

1-to-1 is probably the answer, but I am struggling to overcome the 'fear factor' of friends/other pool users/the instructor laughing at me!
So do the think a video would be a waste of time?
Find a one tthat shows drills - drills are the key to improving technique - technique is the key to swimming
No-one really looks anyway - they just assume you're doing some technical drills and there's a reason you're attempting to splash everyone else. (Bit like doing Ministry of Silly walks drills on the track). Plus am improving in leaps and bounds so may even start to look technically ok-ish in a week or two :-)
