Today I was able to swim 2 x 25 yard laps with out fins. This may not seem like a big deal, but it has taken a large amount of effort. I started learning to swim in the end of October using the Total Immersion book and DVD. For quite a while I was only able to do the drills with full fins, but last week I was able to start using the short (speed) fins. I'm going to keep using the short fins for a couple more weeks, while I work on my technique more. Hopefully I'll be able to do 400 meters by this Spring so I can do a couple of Triathlons Sprints in my area.
