Happy New Year! I’m still working on my swimming drills. As I’ve started to transition into other drills I have been trying really hard to practice breathing while swimming. It has been surprisingly difficult. I was so frustrated with my lack of progress today that I stood against the wall of the pool and just thought about what I could do to help. I decided that I should try to get my pull stroke to provide more momentum for my body roll which would allow me to make it around enough to get that breath.
I tried that and it actually worked. I could get to the air. Hopefully I will make some progress now. I did feel like I may have been over rotating when I breathe, but my sister-in-law watched me swim for a bit, and she thinks I was doing ok. Now I just have to plug away!
