UpwardSlash Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Haven't been to swimming since the Circuit Breaker.. busy and the timeslots are quite limited. Still learning to swim well, can swim the easy breaststroke but always seem to quickly run out of breath after 1 lap. 😂 A friend of mine commented before that I went too fast, but I did try to reduce my speed already. How long did it take you all to swim easily? I also trying to thread on water but to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) You can try youtube and eavesdropping on those coaching.. that's what I did to pick up my both breaststroke and freestyle -.-ll Remember during my late teens, used to swim often next to the coaching lanes. Always praying hard that the coach would yell out loud at the students not to do this or that.. then I would incorporate them into my swimming styles. Struggled quite a lot, took me a few months to improve as I wasn't swimming very often. Then lately after I bought the Garmin sport watch, and monitored my performance.. only to realise has been doing pretty bad and waste a lot of energy in certain movements after checking youtube videos of how those pro swimmers do. Once twitching here and there, actually less tiring and breath better. So for those who don't have a strong financial background like me but want to improve or learn how to swim - youtube and eavesdropping next to those coaching classes 😛 works for me, so hope works for you too Edited March 29, 2021 by Geo UpwardSlash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

begleitung Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Read a useful tip for freestyle swimming recently.
