Gliding Swim

We did some drills, kicks, pulls, one-handed pulls, catch-ups. In one of the drills, I suddenly felt a glide! That feeling of moving forward and actually cutting through water while head was turned and breathing. Thus far, I had never been able to glide properly, if at all. That forward motion was quite intriguing!

So for the rest of the class, I just focused on the glide and tried to replicate that feeling. We swam quite a fair bit tonight. Wasn't it Teacher's Day tomorrow? Maybe Coach should take a holiday. Haha.

10x 100m @ 3:00min
2:15/ 2:13/ 2:13/ 2:12/ 2:14/ 2:14/ 2:17/ 2:17/ 2:17/ 2:22

400m easy swim - 9:51min

6x 50m @ 1:45min
1:02/ 1:03/ 1:00/ 1:04/ 1:02/ 1:04

8x 50m @ 1:30min
1:02/ 1:04/ 1:02/ 1:04/ 1:04/ 1:06/ 1:05/ 59sec

Pleased with tonight's gliding and consistency. :) *self pat*
