You could be spending 10 weeks reinforcing bad habits.
Horses for courses though. You pays your money, you takes your choice. But we're triathletes right? Why pay 2 pound when we can p1ss £50 up the wall?

I'd say video session first. Identify what needs working on then do the leisure centre/tri club thang.

Hi,
I too live in Fleet.
Farnham Tri do at least one evening session at Aldershot Garrison pool but I've never been mainly as I work away. However last year I did swim a regular technique session with another tri club which helped no end, so I would recommend you bite the bullet.
I open water swim at Mytchett Quays. Trisport are local, and run the sessions there. They also do swim coaching in an endless pool: http://www.trisportuk.org/swimming/ I've not used them for training though.

why get an endless pool or join a club? get one or two coached sessions (1-2-1) and work on the things you have identified to correct. I had some sessions with Swim4tri and they were very good, really improved my technique which meant i could concentrate on improving and building fitness - then when i felt i had stopped getting improvements, went back for a few more, some other faults identified and worked on. I'm far from perfect, but lots better than i was.

Lol, small world; AND we spoke before I read this ... in our road, no less. I've seen you swim, we both know its time to spank the wallet. 
... and then you can teach me to bike.

+1 for swim for tri, those guys are superb.
Better hurry up and book though - their prices go up 1st September.

+2 for swim4tri
Keeley Bullock is wicked and changed my swimming in one session.
Deffo worth the money - make no mistake it will open your eyes massively.
Do it - or get Rick Kiddle at Heron lake to point you in the right direction - the bacon sarnies are quality
