Swim Training

Bukit Jalil
Wed. 6.15-7.15pm
Busy pool

1700m, mainly easy-going breaststroke but with increasing lengths of front crawl. No idea of timing as I forgot my HRM and there's no clocks visible from the pool! I managed several 30m lengths of crawl, and one full length (50m), with reasonable success with breathing and not being too out of breath. If I concentrate on the following I seem to do quite well.

Keep "T" low
Rotate properly to enable full inhalation
Don't forget to breathe out!
High elbows on pull greatly improves forward motion

Must try to find most comfortable breathing pattern (inhaling and exhaling) for long swims.
