went swimming this morning. after watching the video last night i had about 45 different things i could work on. started with the underskate. really makes you think about having both hands in front of you when you swim. having that balance is great - keeps you from doing bobs as you head down the lane. sadly i cant do it yet. i still do the windmill thing. thats the reason for the drills, to slowly get you to have both arms forward on the swim.

in other news i swam 3 laps of the 25 pool, so thats a small benchmark. longest swim in 5 years!!! wooohooo!. 150 yards. leaving me 77 laps short of the race distance. well, if i add one each time i should be there in a year.
