I went swimming last night at Ballard Pool for their Master’s swim class. An hour is a long time in the pool going back and forth and my feet started cramping during some of it. I was doing the ‘B’ workout and even then had to cut some parts out.
One of the drills is just using your legs to kick while holding on to a board. I seem practically stationary doing this so obviously some work to do.
One interesting thing I found was that I was averaging 20-21 strokes per length initially but once I started focussing on reducing that I got it down to 17 or so which one would think must be more efficient.
A long way to go before I swim 1.2 miles in open water later in the year!
