My swim was okay this morning.  Rather fragmented I felt.  I was helping a friend of mine with his swimming flips so I kept stopping.  I normally don't do the swim flips but I did today for a bit.  Those are super hard!  They do make you go much faster though.  

I did some breast stroke as well and then finished off with 4 sets of 1 lap going as fast as I could.  That's hard too.  After I did some core work and some push ups and pull ups, I went and did the spin bike for about 20 minutes.  Just cause I felt like it...

Nice work! I'm sure the effort didn't feel as much due to the stopping, but I'm sure it was there. I can't do flips in the water - I need the turn around time to breathe :)

Yes breathing is important... Every time I do it I feel like I am going to drown. Let's hold our breath while our heart is beating fast and see what happens!

That sounds like a really good workout. I think it's neat-o that you can do flip turns. And breathe stroke.... Were you on the swim team or something?

No I actually only started swimming last year. I just got lucky enough to have a friend of mine who was lifeguarding decide to give me some pointers on how to swim. Then I just went from there. Still not good but better than before.
