Today I did 16 laps in the 25 m pool while waiting for yoga class.
And guess what, a stranger told me I swim very well, can I have a look at her style to see what she is doing wrong.
That inflated my ego so I just floated through my laps. This is something for someone who always thought she was a poor swimmer.
OK maybe I am in fact speeding down the lane, sometimes I feel without even trying too hard. And judging from the pace of confident swimmers in other lanes. Perhaps thats the trick. If you are relaxed you dont trash about inefficiently I guess, and you have time to think about doing the stroke correctly and breathing not like you're drowning.
The only problem is that each lap is so tiring my heart is beating in my ears. and if I try to have a go at the second without stopping, I'll start trashing about.
SO for now, its lap rest lap or alternated with breast stroke. So even if I am learning to flip I might not even put it to use!
I guess its a matter of getting rid of baggage, past bad habits; like not keeping my legs straight and no breathing out fully.
