Today I managed a "7 days of Christmas" workout and before any of you think it was a cop-out, I swam it in a 50m pool -and with a breaststroke theme (as it happened to be breaststroke day) so it was tough for me! Anyway it came to a total of 84 lengths (4200m) plus an addtitional 100 to retrieve my kickboard :bed:

Okay, today I finished the whole list. This added a little fun to swimming in December. :carolers::cheerleader::presents2:

Tomorrow my swim coach is giving me 6 fly stroke cycles. I must say, the lunch time crowd at the Y was giving me some strange looks today.

My age group team is off today due to a big meet so I'm going on my own. I am going to do this workout. Watch the lap swimmers stare at me :)

I understood corkscrew to be a drill where you continuously rotate between freestyle and backstroke. The goal is to use your body's core (not your arms) to make the rotation but I will probably not be able to make a full length without cheating. Tomorrow I start with 3 lengths back! :cheer:

Aha, thank you for the corkscrew definition. I'll give it a try. :)
