Swimming, 29th March 2017
Feeling a bit weary today (I even overslept despite an early night), so I just stuck with front crawl today, racking up 2,800m. It was very quiet in the pool and I even ended up having it to myself for … Continue reading

Just front crawl again today as I wasn’t feeling particularly lively (club swimming gala on Saturday and coaching on Sunday didn’t help there). 2,500m including some more practice on turns. I need to start working the turns into my normal … Continue reading
Swimming, 24th March 2017
Missed a session on 23rd unfortunately, so this session I just did 2,200m front crawl in the time available. One of the swim teachers congratulated me on my turns, but had to ask what happened to the dolphin kicks on … Continue reading

Another attempt at the previous Swimfit session. I’m determined to get to the point where I can manage this set competently, even if it doesn’t come easily. 14 lengths easy front crawl Rest up to one minute 6 x 1 … Continue reading

Swimming, 20th March 2017
Was feeling a little tired after a fairly busy weekend, but everything seemed to get easier once I’d started. In the end I swam 1km non-stop, followed by two 500m swims, ten fast 50m swims practising turns and a final … Continue reading
Swimming, 17th March 2017
Got my days mixed up and arrived half an hour early for the public session at the pool (though I didn’t realise at the time). The school session prior to the public session were getting out and the lifeguard was … Continue reading
