Subject: Swimming - Seeing Where I'm Going I'm a newbie, age 66, male who needs some help before my first sprint. I'm a poor to fair pool swimmer who can swim 800 meters in 22 minutes in the pool. I tried swimming in a lake today with a BueSeventy Suit and did poorly for the following reasons. 1. Wet Suit Forced my legs up and head down so I couldn't see where I was going. BTW when I tried the wet suit in the pool I was faster ( then no wetsuit) with my legs higher because of the wetsuit
2. If I stopped and went to a breast stroke to see my speed goes to zero. Whats the secret ?? On the positive side it will be impossible to drown as suit is so bouyant I can hang vertical with out kicking and my head is out of water. Bob |
