Subject: RE: First pool workout!The swimming is super hard in the beginning and then it just seems to start working. Just this past week I feel real comfortable in the water with a consitant stroke and breathing cadence. I'm no expert but here are somethings that have helped me.
-slow it down in the beginning. Try to get a consistant stroke and breathing pattern. As slow as possible worked for me
-cup your hands in the water
-make sure you exhale when you head is under water so you can inhale the whole time your face comes out
-when bringing your head out keep your chin close to your shoulder
- a long high stroke lets me take a deeper breath
2 weeks ago I couldn't do 250 meters without a break. Yesterday I did 1500 straight. It was all about the breathing pattern for me.
