I ran 5.2 from Steiner and then swam another 600 or so in the pool. I was only concentrating on developing the freestyle stroke and not on distance today. It is amazing how much of the ability to swim well depends on very specific technique. I wish I could succeed at it by just getting in the pool and windmilling my arms and kicking my legs wildly for an hour but it doesn't work that way. I have a lot to learn but I feel like I am making progress. |
