Masters swim team

Swimming. Oh how I want to conquer you. Lessons after lessons. Years after years. I've yet to make you my friend. But I'm determined. 2021/2022 we shall meet again. Recently I joined a local masters swim team. Somehow on the first practice I was managing a very sloppy backstroke swim, but a swim nonetheless. I fought my way mid way down the length of the pool, inhaling water and gasping for air. It was everything but graceful. #everything Then came practice day number three. I was even more impressed with myself when I noticed I made it the entire length of the pool. Again, everything but graceful but this time with less inhalation of water and gasping. I'm looking forward to what I'll do next practice.

Freestyle swimming is my ultimate goal as it is the style of swim I want to do for my triathlon. I still have a lot of work to do. My breathing is the biggest problem but I'm determined to not give up. My December goal is to be swim the length of the pool (25y), freestyle. I have 21 days left. Wish me luck. Better yet, wish me skills. :-)
