Elsie Too May 2019 8:35am, 12 May 2019 2,093 posts	0 Elsie Too I had my 1:1 swim session this week. I loved it. I've done a piece for the podcast about it, so tune in on Monday to hear what it was like.
rhb May 2019 11:41pm, 15 May 2019 1,302 posts	0 rhb Tumble Turns in the shallow end are doubly awkward as there are nearly always folks resting, plus my I'm tall. Got one right tonight though, deep end turns all but one were ok. Ready for continuous swims with tumble turns soon I hope.

Following her piece on the podcast I really focused on keeping my looking down rather than forward and with as little head movement as possible and I had my fastest swim for over a year. First time I have swum before work since the pool moved to winter hours (so opens at 8:00am compared with 5:30am.) It was almost deserted so I had a lane to myself for the whole swim.
