Have any of you made huge improvments in your swimming within the past couple of years, or since beginning swimming? If so, what were the improvments you made? What were you doing in training in order to make these improvments?
Have any of you made large improvments recently?
Hi Ripple!
That could be my (and others', I am sure) story with minor differences: started in local ponds and lakes at preschool age; no lessons til age 57; the injury that pushed me into daily swimming was a slipped disk; unimpressive times but still swim OW anyway for the love of it; technique-dependent sport. Slowly clawing the times down in the pool.
Last night for the first time in my LIFE, it felt like swimming.
I'm working on a bit of fly at a time: 4 strokes after a strong push from the wall, repeat.
I'm looking forward to my first SwimTrek swim, though not sure when I can fit it in.
"amyro," there is a nice thread: "Attaboy/Attagirl," where people post their personal achievements. It's a bit different from a full story, but I like reading it and seeing all the great responses. When I can do 100 fly continuously, it'll be there!
