After not swimming for a while I started last week. No TI classes here so I took one at the Y. Did basic stroke work last week (I can swim but I need help with my form), tonight it was breathing. Man, I was getting KILLED out there. After a few laps it started...3 strokes...exhale under water...then breath when your body rolls again.
Another thing...no need to rush. When I hit the pool I looked like Mark Spitz. I'd hit the end out of breath, after working on the breathing thing I ended the lap able to talk normally.
We do need a swim forum.
