NOT Going So Swimmingly!
Oooh, I had my first swimming lesson from Katie tonight. Let;s just say I have been doing front crawl totally wrong. So wrong, in fact, that it can't even have been called front crawl...
God, I was rubbish, so much to remember; getting my arms well out of the water, breathing AND kicking! God, the breathing... I can't do it! My brain rationalises that my face is under water and I panic then turn my face to the side and manage to gulp in a mouthful of water!
I will NEVER manage to swim a mile like this... although Katie told me that there was a definate improvement and she said that it will come...
Maybe I ought to become a dualathlete instead...
