Swimming, 28th June 2017
I wasn’t sure I could do another non-stop 1,500m today as I could feel the tiredness in my arms and shoulders even before I got into the pool. I broke it down though, first aiming to get to 500m, then … Continue reading
Swimming, 27th June 2017
Today was pretty much a re-run of yesterday. I got into the water and just felt as though I should go for another 1,500m front crawl to start with. Again, it got tough towards the end, but I made it … Continue reading
Swimming, 26th June 2017
After a weekend off (which I spent poolside coaching swimmers at a competition — just can’t get away from it), back into the water today and I just had it in my head that having done 1km front crawl non-stop … Continue reading
Swimming, 23rd June 2017
Well, today was really quite hard. I could very much feel the tiredness in my arms from the week’s exertions in the pool. Fortunately for me the Friday pool sessions are shorter, so it was just a question of hanging … Continue reading
It’s finally over
Yesterday I handed in the final post-course work for my Swimming Coach (what used to be the Level 2 Coach) qualification. It’s been a very tough journey for me and one that I’m not sure I’d have started had I … Continue reading
Swimming, 22nd June 2017
For a change today the pool didn’t feel cold when I got into the water. Either the cooler weather or the lower temperature on poolside (it apparently reached 43C on the pool deck last Sunday) made the water feel warmer. … Continue reading
Swimming, 21st June 2017
It was so warm today that even at around 30C the pool felt quite cool when I got into the water. I thought it was going to be fairly quiet as there were only two of us queuing when the … Continue reading
Swimming, 20th June 2017
Another lovely day to be in the pool. Quite a busy day, too. I guess lots of people were taking the opportunity to cool off. I ended up in a lane between two people swimming breaststroke, so it was a … Continue reading
Swimming, 19th June 2017
Such a pleasant day to be in the pool, and I was very much enjoying it. I stuck to front crawl, swimming the first 1,000m non-stop, then another 1,500m in three sets, finishing off with some kick and finally pull … Continue reading
Swimming, 17th June 2017
An extra half hour or so in the water this week that I spent just practising bilateral breathing, swimming lengths with a pull-buoy. Total distance for the month: 28,000m Total distance for this year: 223,000m Distance compared to annual target: … Continue reading
