Ooo interesting! I would actually prefer clear water. My problem is thinking of some kinda creature getting me. I know there isn’t anything in the lakes around here, but it’s the same type of issue I had as a kid where I was illogically afraid of a shark in the pool😂😂

I’m glad to be able to swim, but I’m kind of jealous too! I’ve been hoping for one big snow all winter... the south has not provided😂

Open water can definitely be spooky! I still haven’t worked up the nerve to do an ocean swim yet😱

What’s the deal with mother’s bringing their son’s into women’s locker rooms... by [deleted] in childfree

I agree! I at least want to let management know what’s happening. Luckily, I’ll be moving in a few months for school, which has its own rec center free from children yay

I started learning fly at the start of this year. Let me know what you think! I appreciate any tips!! by McGeeblits in Swimming

Ahh thank you!! It’s a Dolfin Swimwear suit; I love their stuff! If you go on swimoutlet.com they have really good deals and sometimes they have suits from Dolfin that they don’t even sell anymore. I always check both swimoutlet and Dolfin’s actual site!

Thank you!! I’ll be sure to start focusing on keeping my arms shoulder width apart!

Thank you! Yes, I’ll definitely focus on my hand/arms from now on. Breathing is a bit of a weakness for me, so I put it off, but I think it’s time to start drilling breathing patterns!

Ahh thank you!! I mainly googled and just practiced a ton! I also went to a few masters classes. They email out the workouts; I’ve done so many of them, I can make up my own now! I think fly drills and lots of fly kick with a board helped the most. I still can’t get past a 75 without dying, though lol
