Went skiing this weekend and used different leg muscles... So I am not using all muscles to swim breaststroke... clearly.

It was tough today and time constraints meant I couldn't just swim swim swim, I had to get out for school pick up.
Then Family Day holiday on Salt Spring Island and a quick swim in their pool in Ganges.  Lovely pool. Hot tub too hot.

Checked in with some YouTube videos and BBC guidance and then tried to implement some changes. Not big changes but they work and I am now doing 12 strokes to a 25 m length if I concentrate the whole way. That's a reduction of two strokes per length.  Gotta be good: Hard to sustain.

Today I got to speak with Trudy and she is delightful, she had previously said she welcomed swimming alongside me, when we shared a lane.  She is a sleek swimmer and I wanted to tell her she is my inspiration, however, she beat me to it and I was quite overwhelmed, and couldn't take the comment easily.

I wish her well, and hope she continues to swim nearby.

I am trying very hard to improve my stroke and she told me that I had everything in balance and was compact... I thanked her so much because I needed someone to tell me if my hips are out of line... she told me I am in a good line... how splendid.  

This week's Swim.... I am past Innisfail!
