Having problems with message search?
Joel,
It really does sound like you need help with your stroke (most likely you are not breathing properly but that can be cause by any number of stroke issues).
You need to find a swim team that can help you and that has a coach. This way you can afford a coach as the entire team pays for the coaching.
I am the President of Nepean Masters Swim Club so I am biased to which team I think is the best. We have a link on our club site that links to all the local clubs.
Take your time, find an affordable club that meets your time schedule and then register and swim a few times a week. You should communicate to the club your skill level and then you can ask if the coach works on strokes.
Here is the link: http://nmsc.org/visitors/links.php
At our club we have 2 coaches per session (each coach coaches four lanes with one coach focusing on the newer swimmers and one coach focusing on the more experienced swimmers - except our Thursday evening and Saturday morning swims which have only one coach).
Our schedule and fees (our fees would be prorated for the rest of the year as the year runs from September to June) is posted at: http://nmsc.org/visitors/links.php
Good luck. Barry Doucette

Hi,
I am interested in completing a triathlon at some point in the near
future but my swimming no nowhere up to par. Although I have done the
Rideau Lakes tour twice with no major problem and have finished 2
marathons (no record breaking times I must say) I have a very hard
time swimming. It almost seems like I panic and get winded almost
immediately ... I can not go for more than a few yards freestyle.
I am not sure where to start, where to go or how to proceed to improve
on this front. I don't really ahve the funds to spend on a coach so I
am usualy stuck to my own devices for training. I am also fairly
limited on time because of a few kiddies at home.
Feedback or advice would be appreciated. I am in the west-end which
is why I am inquiring in this group.
Thanks for your help!
Joel :)
