Here are some other sites!!!

Heeeey! I’ve been looking around at other blogs, and I found some really interesting things:

For improving freestyle technique:   http://www.wbmny.com/swimming/ I checked out this site and it was very helpful with my swimming. Basically, this person has been writing about how they swim, and what they do to improve their times. The points they give are very useful and clear to understand.

For finding suits:      http://standingby.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/swimwear-shopping/#comment-680 This place has good places to shop for reasonably priced suits. It gives types of suits to wear, and what they do. I think that this is very handy for two pieces, but it doesn’t mention one-pieces. I personally don’t think that half of those suits are bad, but that choice is really up to you.

For fitness in paddling water sports: http://race.fit2paddle.com/ I know a lot of people who have been swimming for a while, and are complaining about not cross-training. Who can blame them? It gets really hot on some of the running trails, and it is really gross, hot, and sweaty. So, why not row? Rowing is a very good sport, because not only will it build up your muscles and make you stronger, but if you get hot, all you will have to do is jump in the water to cool off!!!

For tips and workouts for swimmers: http://swim-life.blogspot.com/ It can be hard to come up with sets, if you are a coach or an individual swimmer, it is always best to have a set prepared. This site is very useful and handy to serious swimmers. It has different sets for different strokes, and I like this site a lot. I will be using it in my future.

For the official Ivy League Women’s swimming and diving: http://psychesheetwomens2009.wordpress.com/ If you are going off to college (I know some of you are, or at least you know someone who is), then this site will help you see what you schedule will be like for next year. With this site, you could see how busy swimming is and how good the teams are.

For a bilingual swim suit shop: http://www.aqualoja.net/index.php/en/Events This site is cool, because it can be in PORTUGUESE. I think that this site might help others that speak only Portuguese (obviously). Anyways, these suits are so cute and I want to go buy some, but unfortunately, I have to wait for my next paycheck.

For parkas and goggles: http://swimparkas.blogspot.com Parkas are always handy if you are in a water sport. It usually ends up being way too cold to swim or play polo and if you are waiting, you don’t want to freeze. Parkas do sound like something that people in Alaska would wear, but they are very warm. Goggles keep people’s eyes from getting too bloodshot, so people won’t think that you are high.

For NorCal water polo: http://www.norcalwaterpolo.com/ If you are in North California, this site is a MUST. They have everything: nutrition, dry-land training, lessons, you name it.  This site is always handy and useful to those that reside in North California. I think that this site is going to be my new favorite.
