I'm 70 yrs old and started swimming last August. I'm swimming with an awesome Masters team.
I've lost quite a bit of weight, still have 20lbs to go; I'm getting there but have two questions:
1: Am I pulling an extra 20lbs with each pull? At first it seems an obvious yes, but I wonder if being in water makes it different.
2: When the weight is off will it be easier for me to get and stay underwater? - I'm having a tough time pushing off the wall streamline underwater.
odd questions I know, but I'd really appreciate it if anyone can tell me?
Thanks,
Pam
Dear PamC,
I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your brave and courageous attitude! I think swimming is a difficult sport; to think you started this at the age of 70 to better your health is amazing to me. My goal is to try and be as open-minded, confident, and brave as you when I reach your age. Good luck with your continued efforts, I'm pretty sure you will succeed with anything you set your mind to do.
Sincerely,
Robin
