us50090 - 2007-01-21 6:23 PM ...if your technique is reasonable, the way to get faster is tempo sets the way they do in masters.....you need to swim more and harder to get faster....I am swimming less aerobic sets and more tempo and sprint sets where I am really pushing as hard as I can, rest, repeat, it has made a difference in how I feel in the water.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Once you have the basis of the technique down, if you want to get faster, go faster! It's the same for the other disciplines as well.

I think it is also worth bearing in mind that TI isn't for everyone. I think that it is extremely useful for an adult just learning to swim but if you already know how to swim and are comfortable in the water, you may benefit more from another approach (i.e. personalized coaching, masters swimming).
