Hi 
When I first started swimming I was very unfit.
I had to swim to one end and I was out of breathe. I just stayed and kept treading water to keep myself moving. Eventually after a few months I was flowing back and forth with ease.
I havenāt been for a long time I think maybe almost a year! I have my stuff ready at the door just havenāt made it back. Iām hoping I havenāt lost my touch in the water again. I will start slow and pace myself to rebuild my stamina.

I would love to share a flip turn video with youā¦
Itās just āsemiā - okay, to post it here, cause of the swimwear. I just watched it and will go practicing now. If you are interested I can also pm you, but your profile is hidden.

Same hereā¦ I was so good at it as a teenager and now I am trying again since 3 weeks. Already in the flow, excited everytime the wall comes nearer, itās just such a lot of fun!!!
Only the first 25 practices where exhausting, but I stayed at one wall for it .

Had my 2000 meters each day for 5 days now,
each one veryyy nice. Pools were less crowded. 6 weeks from new year people are breaking their new year resolutions 
Noteā¦ I am more myself.
Noteā¦ I canāt live anywhere with bad pool availability.
Noteā¦ I canāt do another sport with the same effect
Happy swimming š©µ

Iām definitely awaiting the new yearās people to drop off. They are being clingy to their resolutions here! Hard to even get a treadmillā¦ Then they walk on it slowly watching their phones. Itās honestly frustrating that people canāt even exercise without watching a show or YT or tiktok. How can you mind ever switch off if you are constantly bombarding it?

2km x 5 days in a row is impressive, geez well done, Iām still aiming for a flip turn without spraining my neck this week, I also love swimming itās so calming once you zone in on the laps

Still very busy at our gym apparently (I havenāt been able to go but husband is). I do wonder about the slow treadmill walkers, that is all they seem to do. Feels like it would be nicer to go for a walk. I have no media when exercising, love letting my brain wander, we donāt get that enough now.

I know and itās really slow walking. If this was legit their speed I would applaud them but itās teenagers or young adults in new gym wear.

First ever lap swimming for exercise today. Was good, so much to work on which I love. Didnāt die and managed a few full lengths of freestyle in amongst it all
Thanks for the advice and encouragement. Aim is to go once a week.
