First coached swim session this evening. I've never been able to swim front crawl, and by the end of the session I could swim a length, bi-lateral breathing included! Dead chuffed with myself. Swallowed half a pool. Felling bloody great!
One step closer to being a triathlete...

Ironman next year then for you.
That's the very tentative plan ... I live in Wales, so Tenby's looking nice.
well done Tim.
What's bi-lateral?
;o)
Well dome Tim and Oii!
I've just finished my swimming lessons (I prefer the coaching - doesn't cunjure pictures of arm band and rubber rings quite so much) although still breathing water!
I'm heading to Spain next week and have my first open water swim planned - justing hoping its true what they say about it being easier to swim/float in a wet suit!! Otherwise I'll have no need to worry about the bike or run - I'll drown during the swim!!
I still drink more than water than is safe after 3/4 years........it has a side effect ....be warned...........
yeah Seren, but thats because you swim in mucky rivers all year round
Bilateral breathing is being able to take a breath on a stroke on both the left and right sides.
I went to the kind of school where even the non-swimmers had to race at the beginning of each lesson.
Thats 80's comprehensive education for you.
I still cant swim but I know the principles of how to.
Which is weird
Tim dont let Seren tempt you. Stick to the pool.
