First pool workout!

I did it! I actually found a pool to do laps. It's actually right around the corner from me on the Coast Guard base. That is also a plus because it's free for all us Marines here at our unit. I finished my first workout a couple days ago. I wanted to see how far I could swim. I made it 200m and had to stop. I was tired. Knowing that it was my poor form that made me wear out so fast, I did 4X50's with rests between. I figured that if I took it slow that I could consentrate on my form and mabe learn something from the first workout. I got more confident being in the water and kept myself rested enough so I knew I could make it through the 50 meters without too much struggle.

I'm looking forward to my second pool workout today. I hope it's true what they say about improving fast at the beginning. My boss is a former competitive swimmer and I hope to recruit him to the pool with me. I am talking to him about coaching. And of course the other bonus of having a training partner. Good for the both of us, you know.
