December Swim Video – Kinda Looks Like I’m Actually Swimming!

Coach Chuck sent the latest video after our training session today.  In his own words he said, “Your form is now better than half of everyone you will be swimming with.”  Thought I was going to cry after hearing those words.

I now have a bit of a glide and hands seem to be entering well.  Coach Chuck has these things for me to work on now.

  • Breathing with my head in the water and one goggle under the water.
  • Left arm (again my darn left arm) waiting to pull until my right arm is in the water and outstretched.
  • More laps continuously.  We need conditioning so we can start open water swimming out of the pool.

He also had me try some small swim fins which worked great.  We are dropping the pool bouy (my leg floaty) and going with the fins to start building some leg kicking strength.
