LOL.....I felt sick on my first trip, I felt sick on my second trip, I felt sick on my third trip............ fourth session, I felt part of the family! Every family needs a slowpoke and that's me.....for now!
Hey I'm going to start doing group lessons... Should be fun. I front crawl and get whooped by OAPs breaststroking trying not to get the granny rince hair wet! When ur @ the bottom the only way is up!
Good attitude. I swim in lane 6 at tri club....... that's lane 6 out of 6. There is no lane 7 so they can't bump me down a lane. They can only put me up a lane.
Thanks to you lot for yesterday. I'm sure I would have gone back but you gave me that bit of encouragement. I can't go next week but look forward to the following week.
My first triathlon this morning and I was slowest in the swim.
I expected that and I was actually not as slow as I thought I would be - 400m in 15:59 but that was including the run out of the leisure centre down the road to Transition.
I managed 250M continuous FC this morning. I think that's thanks mainly to Bos1 instructing me to slow down; the technique tips on this thread; practicing 3 times a week; my coach setting me drills. In that order probably!
Yeah I found that today Oops - I felt like I could've done more but it was time to go to work. I felt really relaxed in my stroke. The last time I saw my coach, he said I was holding myself tense, so it'll be good to see if he notices a change. Worked on the bilaterial breathing today too and did some one-armed drills - both better than last week too.

Parklife,
If I can do it anyone can. Once you are there, you will be fine

Durham - still a good effort though. You can only get better. Very quickly you can get reasonable!
Well done DD!
I just want to get my first one over with really! I don't even care if I'm last!
*pin your ears back for LB's latest baby step milestone*
I am up to 150m continuous front crawl and I am determined to crack that 200m this week!
This appears to have gone unnoticed, LB. So BIG MAHOOSIVE WELL DONE from me
The 200m will come easily now, Girl
Well done LB.

I'm so over excited I'm choosing swimming over SHOPPING!!!!
Thanks guys - I appreciate the encouragement!
Good prioritising LB.
I've got v little money so shopping's not an option. The last thing I bought was a £4 silver condom cap.
The worlds gone mad.
Well done LB you can now swim more than me crawling.
Durham very well done
My silver johnny was £6.99!
Flipping John Lewis.....
I swimmed and I shopped a bit. Not entirely lost my mind...
