It really helped to go back to basics. I don’t use the toys much (except the gps of course) but I’m always trying to think about one of two of the bits of the stroke from the sessions. (When I feel I have those nailed I’ll be ready for another coaching session to find out how wonky my nails are 😀)

And I seem to be getting faster. Same session 2 weeks ago 2:22 per 100m, 1 week ago 2:18, this week 2:17. I treat my Friday lunch time like a tempo swim. Go out fairly hard but try to keep consistent pace for half an hour.

Helegant Jul 2019 4:59pm, 18 Jul 2019 6,398 posts	0 Helegant I'd love to do a particular shorter swim in another country, but I suspect the budget won't work, so this one looks like a suitable 'runner up'. It's only three times as long as my longest still-water swim to date...
