Day #9 Lesson

The breast stroke.  Carol broke it down for me in components.  First the arm stroke with legs still.  Then the kick with the arms still.  Then put the two together.  The stroke came easily, but I really had to concentrate on my kick because it was such a new way of using my body.  Kind of frog like.  She emphasized squeezing the butt muscles, thus, bringing the legs together which creates the propulsion.  Great workout for the thigh/butt area.  In that case, I'll definitely be doing this one frequently !

I still don't have the part where you come up for air (ha ha).  Still working on the coordination between the arms and legs.
