The feeling when in the pool is amazing. The world just stops and Iām there in the moment. Mind on nothing but the adventure of swimming ahead of me.

Maybe once i get a bit better I can zone out. But I was concentrating pretty hard in the beginning. Few more times hopefully Iāll find a flow

Im not sure about good or not. I feel I won just by giving it a go. I was struggling to get my breathing right for freestyle, think i was going to fast with my arms, went better when I focused on going slower and relaxing more. Quite a few of those laps were backstroke. Happy Iāve got a new activity to try and improve on

Good attitude 
I love Videos from myswimpro and Fares ksabati or myswimgym on YouTube for just astetique motivation or technique tips.
In my experience itās important to correct technique and learn skills one by one and then practice several sessions. (like focus on breathing, focus on arm entry, pull, kickā¦ But not all in one session). It needs patience.

Neuroplasticity
Struggling with my body image last days, I remembered the research about neuroplasticity. And so I started patient practiceā¦

Itās amazing what happens if we start reprogramming our brain. Did a longer meditation yesterday and today in the late afternoon (in addition to my morning meditation routineā¦ And another kind of). Feeling much better.
Today I kicked 3000 meters in 70 minutesā¦
Including 300 butterfly, 2 x 25 and 2 x 50ā¦
BƤm! Getting better in itā¦

Swim number 2.
Missed last week.
900m in 53mins.
Felt way better than my first swim. Managed to get quite a few full lengths of freestyle in and my breathing was definitely getting into a better rhythm.

Sounds goodā¦
Are you planning a next swim?
TW breast lol
Had a swim yesterdayā¦
It was a good one, but I was hit!
By a real big guyā¦ Kicking his feet in my breast!
Happened during turnā¦ There were too many people. He didnāt even excuse. Fucker.
I had to scream and pauseā¦ A lifeguard just passed and asked if I am okay. I think I am, my breast looks and feels normal today.
Happy swimming - be aware
