so i think i have changed a bit swimming, when i started ( all of a year ago ) i kept my head above water way too much... i think it was always.
but now i try to keep my head in the water as much as possible. the big change is of course that i am spending i would guess 75% or so of the time looking under water rather than the spinning world as i turn my head sideways for air.
seems like now the real world is underwater and the odd place is the air. pretty nice change!

Jeepers!! :) :) You are turning into a fish!! YAY!!
ReplyDeleteI have a funny story to share with you -- my partner, Mike, was in the army for 4 years. When he first enlisted, he had to complete all sorts of physical tests to gauge his fitness...
Well, one was a 25m swim test. He had no idea how to swim (still doesn't) but jumped in the pool with everyone else...
Now my Mike is broad shouldered and strong -- a naturally muscular guy. He said when they started swimming, he just spun his arms through the water and his chest was bouncing off the water like he was a boat. LMAO!!!!
His time was so fast he was put in the advanced class....that was until the moment the instructor actually SAW how Mike had *swum*. LMAO!!!! Then he was sent back to the beginners. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
lol! that kinda happened to me too. i was in high school - back in the 40s i think it was, and we had to do the same thing. so i got in. held my breath and swang my arms as fast as i could because i was scared to breath. won the race and never got in the pool again until last year. but i was "That Swimming Jock" to most of the people my senior year!
