Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: Sinister Snowmen sel166 - 2007-12-05 6:02 AM Hey guys... Bad news, I'm going to have to drop out of the swim challenge. Just got word from the doctor that I'm not allowed to swim at all for at least 2 weeks, possibly up to 4-5 weeks, due to a shoulder injury, so I won't be able to participate anymore!! ARGH!!! I wish you all luck! GO SNOWMEN!! Im really sorry about you injury! Take Care! |

how's that looking so far? this correct for you lynne and amy? anybody else want me to add their's?
how we all doing? todays swim distance wise went well but i am trying a new technique which though it hurts my shoulder less taxes my right tricep more and tbh feels plain weird! still am working on it
other teams are doing mini biogs so i thought i'd start us off: name: jackie edge, but replies to saph age: 30 (argh!!!!!!!) location: birmingham at the moment but i own a house in manchester how long i've been swimming for: 30 years, but i apparently started lessons when i was 5. favourite comment about swimming: mummy why do my eyes hurt? is there too much pauline in the water? favourite swimmer: ian thorpe; saw him swim at the commonwealth games in manchester and he dived in about the same time as the english guy (in the relay), let's just say the |

Elite 3494 Renton, Washington | Subject: RE: Sinister Snowmen Jackie. You are on the ball. Doing a grand job love. Well done. My stroke was all wrong too! I got to take part in a 30 minute masters class last night and now I realize why my right shoulder has been bothering me. I was not bringing my arm around properly...who knew! I've been told to practice with my paddles the 1st half hour of my swim. I am going back to the masters on Thursday to see how I am doing. I recommend a master class to anyone!!! I was intimidated at 1st but people are uber friendly as are the coaches there. My shoulder is a little tweaky today but nowhere near as painful as it was yesterday. Wonderful.
I might go for a swim at lunchtime today. The pool is just 5 minutes away and I'm in love with it. How is everyone else doing? |

Extreme Veteran 484 El Cajon, Ca | Subject: RE: Sinister Snowmen I am Amy. I am 34. Two Kiddos, boy almost 4, girl 2 1/2. I have been swimming since July on a regular basis. When I started I could barely do 50m. I would do 50 free, then back stroke, then breast, back, breast...you get the picture. As of yesterday, I did 1750 free. I am slow, with terrible form, but I am swimming. I hope to check out a masters team soon, but scheduling with two kiddos and a husband that works crazy hours is not easy. I live in sunny San Diego. Although it is supposed to rain crazy this weekend, with snow down to 4000 ft (approx 25 min away) I do not have a favorite swimmer, or a favorite quote. Well, execpt my kiddos. I love to watch them swim. I started both of them at 6 months. We live in such a great area for swimming. I decided they must know how to swim early on. My favorite kiddo quote " I love you, mama" sappho, the chart looks great and my distance is correct. Thanks again. |

Extreme Veteran 393 Columbia, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Sinister Snowmen Hi everyone! I second the benefits of a Master swim program. The progress I've made in just 7 months of serious swimming is due in large part to the people I've met in the program at my local YMCA. I finally have a snowman avatar - it's not sinister, but I love Snoopy (sorry). I was hoping to add to my swim total this morning (I usually swim MWF mornings) but I've got a nasty head cold and feel like crap. Poo. Hopefully it'll go away soon so I can get back in the darn pool! |

this guy suggested putting my hand in at about 3/4 catch up distance with my fingers not held as tightly together. it feels REALLY FCUKING ODD. but i can see his point. i always used to enter at about half catch up position which was very neat but apparently causes more water resistance. but this one feels weird. can maybe bob chime in and clarify what we should be doing?
and amy/lynne: glad i got it right |
