Hello,
I recently took up swimming (October) @ age 43 and have never done much else than splash around in a pool.
I trained myself using Total Immersion (I have been looking at the forums here and I suspsect I just threw a hand grenade into this thread :) )
As with other skills I have learned, I feel one has to develop their own form and style - so I am not following TI by the book....
Anyway, this is the first time I have seen myself swimming and I see some errors:
a. rolling too far to breath or simply turning my head to breathe
b. head position
c. legs uselessly kicking around..
video of me swimming:
link.
any pointers on how to
a. work my kick into my stroke better.
b. work on body roll.
Anyway, I have to say I LOVE swimming. to me its like mediation, excercise, pilates, dance, and flying all in one.
I wish i had discovered it sooner, but better late then never.
Anyway, I welcome your feedback.
Paddles with fins to start...then I want to get you on the bungee cord.
I'm still recovering from the wounds of stretch cords snapping back at me during my college days. Fortunately, Eddie generally kept us distance guys away from those most of the time.
Paddles with fins?? Damn, it's hard enough to get up in the morning and remember my goggles, suit and water bottle. Now I gotta lug more equipment?
