Swim Rant

Here is one I just remembered and it only works for people who have coaches. You come to the pool really wanting to swim. The coach has all these mats set up and begins to make you go through P.I. or Phys. Ed., or whatever it was called when you were in high school and weren't doing any other sports. So, jumping jacks, sit ups, various forms of calisthenics and other stuff are done right in front of the pool. After half an hour we went into the pool and did 250 meters of leg drills, three to each lane with one mat for the three. This only happens about twice a month. The coach wants us to be in better shape. I tell him, fat people only like to be in the water. What I really enjoy is when he says: "Give me 1,000 meters, with the fins, and keep the style fluid, alongate your arms well." Now, that is true swimming! billy fanstone
