I had a lesson tonight (Monday) instead of the usual Tuesday night lesson. It was weird going home first, it kind of messed with my head but I think that's a good thing.
The pool was really warm today, no complaints from me, but the teacher said it had been a struggle for others and that it had been warmer earlier. It was nice to get into though and my goggles didn't steam up today.....bonus.
Today I did much better at taking breaths while doing breaststroke. I think I was managing every second stroke. I was really pleased with this because I can really feel it coming together.
I also did a bit of floating on my back, this time in the shallow end with the teacher behind me for support. I really need to practice this. It still feels scary and I could feel myself tensing up, I just couldn't relax at all.
Did two lengths of front crawl which I think was better and fast, I'm feeling more confident doing this too. Once I get the back float sorted I think ill be able to learn the breathing for this....something to aim towards.
Finally, diving for the little sharks. Secretly my favourite part of the lesson. When I first started and I watched a wee girl doing this I thought ill never manage that and I can.....get this, even two at a time!
I'm getting there!
Great videos for technique here SpeedoInternational
