I'm feeling more and more confident in the water as the weeks roll by.

It makes me feel silly 'coz I'm only really in the pool once a week and it makes me think that if that's what one session can do, surely I ought to be doing more. I'm starting to feel like a canoe in the water. I glide along with much less effort and I don't feel like I'm dying as I try to keep up with the others. I like this. So tonight I decided to focus on one aspect of my stroke: Tucking my ear under my armpit when I reach ahead and rotate. The result? I seem to be gliding further and with less effort. The only downside is water is now getting clogged in my ears and is no doubt making my brain go soggy.

Ah well. Learning is a good thing.

The set entailed another 800m but I cramped up mid swim during the 1.6km time trial - Right in the middle of the pool. Had to cling on to the side very unglamly. So only managed 4 x 800m (3.2km) tonight, which I guess is alright for me.

Time for some quality time and laughter: Both of which I have been promised =)
