The swimming challenge is going very well. I'm very excited about my progress. I think my swim mentor is also. I swam with her on Saturday morning. She couldn't believe how comfortable I was getting in the water. And she said I'm getting much faster!!
I have had to adjust the challenge a little. Do to the pool schedule I can not swim everyday. I have this thing called a job. Where people count on me to be there. So I can't swim at 11:30-1:00 on Friday afternoons???? Who can?? So, I have been trying to get there one the days they are open. I have made up all workouts! So, I may not swim for 21 days. But, I will get the 21 workouts in the 21 days. I promise!
Last Thursday, I swam my first full 50's!! Not one, but two!! I could do 50's before but they were horrible! I would have to float on my back or float on my side to get a long breath. Not anymore!! I swam the whole way! And do I dare say they aren't to bad!! I have found it is much easier to breath less! It make the lengths go so much faster!! I was so proud of myself!
Saturday, I swam 4 50's and 1 75! Which wasn't pretty! But, I did it!! Moving on up the workout chart now! I'm so excited to finally get it! Now I'm doing 800 yd workouts instead of 400's. I'm hoping I can do it and still feel the progress. I'm sure I will. I believe in this process.
