Swimming, 28th September 2017
Another session working on extending my stroke. The muscles are starting to complain now 🙂 Then 8 25s fly kick. I can pretty much reach 15m underwater from a push off on demand now, which is progress for me. Just … Continue reading
Swimming, 27th September 2017
Much harder work today than yesterday, not helped by the fact that I was late into the pool in the first place. I did another 8 x 250m front crawl trying to keep my stroke long, followed by some fly … Continue reading
“Dying mushroom float”
Most swimmers will probably know what a mushroom float is — basically the swimmer hugs their knees to their chest and floats face-down in the water. I was asked to do this on Monday evening. The the bemusement of both … Continue reading

Really enjoyed today. Swam 2km as 8 x 250m faster than I’ve managed since I got the hang of bilateral breathing. I really wasn’t working that hard either. At the tri session the coach said I needed to work on … Continue reading

Swimming, 21st September 2017
Woohoo! Today I passed the 400km mark for the year. Very pleased. A quick check from last year puts me just over 63km ahead of where I was on the same day. Today I did 2km front crawl as 8 … Continue reading

Pretty much the same as yesterday today. Not very inventive I know, but if I’m going to experiment with drills for coaching I do need to have some idea of how hard they are. Total distance for the month: 34,300m … Continue reading
Swimming, 19th September 2017
Feeling a bit tired from the tri session, so I just kept it simple, as 2km front crawl followed by 500m of experimenting with fly kick drills that I’m going to set for my swimmers later in the week. Turns … Continue reading

Lost track of things a bit at the tri fitness session this evening. As sometimes happens I started swimming and was concentrating on technique and lost track of the lengths. Fortunately the people sharing the lane hadn’t got quite so … Continue reading
