Problem is that to be in shape for the game that I loved, I had to do the thing that I hated. That brings me to the fringe benefit of being in swim shape. Yes, I was fit for the polo season, but I was ... Read More

What accessories do you use in the pool and how do you incorporate them? When swimming at the PAC, I use AquaSphere swim fins as I find them most comfortable and training effective, and Speedo concave swim hand paddles, both large and medium to tax the upper body. Best for 200 repeats and 200 one arm repeats. (Scott Endsley, 57, San Diego, CA) I mainly use pull bouys, paddles, and kickboards. ... Read More

The main reason is that I had a flare up of plantar fasciitis a... Read More
