Today was review and practice of all the different techniques; back stroke, freestyle side breathing, breast stroke components, back float-swim-back float. No fins. But did practice with the kick-board to get my side-breathing down with the proper kicking.
What Carol has done for me is educate about the physics of water and change my perception of the depth. Our bodies are meant to float because of the air in our lungs. Fortunately, in my case I'm naturally buoyant (hard word to spell !). I'm on the honeymoon phase and swimming is becoming an addiction for me now. I feel so much better after leaving the pool and feel terrible if I miss a day.
Since it was our last day together I was kind of sad, but ready to face the water on my own. I asked Carol if I could come back for tune-ups and check-ins and she said of course !
