In my continued attempt to like swimming, or at least not completely dread it, I am hitting the pool at least weekly. Last week I wound up in my swim session at the same time as aqua aerobics which was not the best idea. After about 20min of swimming, I noticed a cloudy mist coming through the water from the direction of the aqua aerobics class. I'll let you guess what that was, but I was completely grossed out.
This week, I went for lap time and wound up timing it perfectly with a Master's Class so opted for that instead. SO awesome! My normal swim is get in, do a mile, get out. And my stroke is freestyle with only breathing on the right side every other stroke. In the class, we did the following:
- Easy 10 laps
- 200s with the buoy
- Easy 10 laps
- 200s with the buoy and hand fins breathing every 3 strokes
- Easy 10 laps
In this short session I learned to breath less frequently (sounds counter intuitive but helped a ton!), breath on both sides, and turn more in the water to cut through faster.
