(I somehow lost my post in the middle of reviewing it--sorry if this ends up posted twice! Now let's see if I can remember what I wrote.)
I was talking with a friend about swimming and she said she started "swimming for life" x number of years ago. I got the sense that she meant that it was more than a good workout--it kept her "alive." I have to admit that it has that kind of effect for me, too. At the risk of sounding too new-agey, it's nourishing in more than a physical sense.
What does swimming mean to you? How does that compare to other sports or activities you do? How does that meaning influence your goals and performance?
50 Free. I'll post my time from tonight at training. I'll warm. Rest and dive in. Open Turn. I'm unpracticed at turns and don't feel like breaking my ankles on the deck b/c of a challenge.
I'll take it as serious as I can. Then we can take it from there, nemesis!
:drink:
Funny you said that, my brother actually did break his ankle doing exactly that while at a masters practice. Before him, I had never heard of anyone breaking anything while swimming. I did not believe my mom when she was telling me :dunno:
Your really need to learn flip turns SwimStud, they make all the difference (just don't do them like my brother :shakeshead: )
