Swim

LA Fitness - 800M

OK, I'm giving in, and wearing a swimming hat at this pool. I think it's a waste of time, and effort on my part, but it's annoying waiting to be told off for not doing it. In triathlon events you have to wear a hat, so I'll use this as my personal justification of getting used to swimming with it on.

Did 400M of crawl in 30M (2 length) stretches with short breathers at each end for warmup.

Then tried a new technique - 15M breaststroke up the pool, then back down the pool doing crawl. Found that this way I could do the whole 400M without stopping. Was really pleased and felt my crawl is improving. I'm swimming remarkably slowly, but my stamina is increasing.
