improve my swimming

the only can do it breaststroke, an feel i should learn the other strokes just to get some variety when i go to swimming pool.

Swimming has been a major part of my life to date, and as I sat watching the Olympics it brought back those fond memories when I used to achieve results.

However during my mid teenage years I failed to swim regularly, and it’s only been this past year that I’ve got back into the pool and started to swim again. Now I want more, swimming is a hobby, but next year I’ll be off to university, and what a fantastic chance it’ll be to compete with other swimmers from around the country, during the British University and College Sports competitions. http://www.bucs.org.uk/

Here goes nothing! I’m going to devise a training scheme and improve my competitive times! Wish me luck!

i learned to tread water and swam to the deep end of the pool today. i’m so proud of myself! i thought it would take a couple of days but it only took an hour. i wanted to stay longer but my friend had a hair appointment. i cant wait to learn something else!

this is a backburner one, but I would still like to have more skill and strength while swimming. I don’t want to make a hobby out of it, but I would like to be able to swim a fair distance.

I think I’m beginning to learn to pace myself. I was able to do 6 laps freestyle last week.

This is not going to happen, I’ll just stick to splashing around in the ‘shallow end’ of the sea.

Just dont go join a club team and swim competetivly… i did for 10 years and it kinda took the fun outta it.. I would much rather train by myself than with a coach now. And club swimming becomes your whole life. at one point friends stopped asking me to hang out cuz they knew i would have swimming…

still training, starting to think about setting timeset goals and start training on regular days.

To improve even more i’ll take a lesson tonight

trained today
