Short session today and we didn’t actually get into the water until five minutes after it had started, so I just focused on doing 8x250m front crawl, putting in a tumble turn at the deep end at the end of … Continue reading →

Today I felt slightly more on top of things and not so tired, managing 2km front crawl as 8x250m followed by 6x50m front crawl kick and 200m as 50s working on turns again. Total distance for the month: 25,300m Total … Continue reading →
