Swimming 30:00 [3]
well ... found goggles, found a pool and went! ... it happened to be tiny.
First I thought it would be great to practice the flipflop turns. Except one end was so shallow it was impossible.
However, I did do them on the far end. First time, my feet did not even touch the wall (was an imaginary push off). Second, i over corrected the problem and almost ran into the wall,... and from there, some kind of progression was started.
I often held my breath so much before the turn that i would be exhausted right after. and I know why swimmers wear nose plugs ... hummm
Funny that with all my lifeguarding, and teaching swimming, I never learned how to flip. I never was a fast swimmer but if it keeps me off the foot, I will give it a go.
