It seems the long winter of technique work in the pool has paid off, I finally seem to have a relatively efficient swimming stroke. Or at least it feels like I do, which I hope is half the battle. Though I can’t really tell for sure at the moment, the 15m pool I’m training in at the moment isn’t exactly the greatest gauge for things I reckon. But all that will change Friday. A few lengths in the 50m pool in UL should prove to me whether my improvement is just a figment of my imagination or something worthwhile.
But back to today, 100 lengths broken down in to 10, 20, 30 and 40 lengths at a time. Not a colossal distance by any means, manageable really but it’s a start. Hope to up it in the next couple of weeks. The time constraints of having a lunch hour-and-a-quarter to get a good swim session in are a bit a hindrance to that but I’ll have to find my way around them.
The only complaint I have about the pool I’m training in is it seems to be over filled. Any more than two people in the pool and Archimedes’ principle really gets a thorough proving! The water tends to slosh somewhat, not to mention there’s quite a bit of a current towards the shallow end!!
With the weather so good I’m half tempted to go for a run as I write this... But half a temptation just won’t be enough to convince me this evening.
