I never really dedicated myself to winning over different swimming techniques propperly untill this summer.
I guess being a relatively good swimmer by default I never saw it necessary, untill I wanted more speed and definetly more class. Being well adapted to water it only came to me naturally that I first took on the challenge of scubba diving and only upon compleating my first level PADI diver licence did I gether the time to devote myself to spending a lot of Tuesdays at one of the city’s open air pools with a private toutor..who just dropped in and I’ll need to swimm off my hour before continuing this post, but bottom line, these swimming instructors rock! They are able to demonstrate the scarce breathing segments while speaking instructions “inhale” in the short periods when they should have been inhaling!!! It looks amazing: the body dives, the head goes under water, they swing their hands (swimming the dolphin style) once, twice, …and he’s still under, third time round the head pops out and without gasping for air he says here you inhale and dives again…there’s something strangely robotic about such behaviour. And it inspires!
