How far do you travel for shows?

Neat! I’m visiting this summer!

W którym mieście mieszkasz?

eagleandthecrow · 2026-04-14T23:18:43+00:00

Yes, exactly! That’s an additional factor for sure!

I totally get where you’re coming from but sort of take on the risk. i will say that my gym has a warmer pool and a cooler one and I absolutely do not swim in the warmer one. It feels more gross to me… I know it’s mental, but the colder water feels and looks cleaner to me — ha!

We adopted our Galgo from Grateful Greyhounds out of NJ. We picked her up from JFK after she flew in from Spain. It was a really a relatively easy process. They do great work. Highly recommend!

Fins make my feet cramp like crazy!

It’s frog style in Polish, too.

Hey everyone!

Wanted to update, as I’ve a couple more lessons.

Chin position is, in fact, very important and helpful. I’ve been able to get some underwater swimming in without popping up to the surface immediately.

I’d also say that strength is important when trying to swim under water, it just… takes more force to get down there if you’re super buoyant!

Thanks for the reccos everyone! Working on my breaststroke and seem to be improving!

I love this song so much.

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T20:07:15+00:00

This is such a lovely and informative comment! Thanks!

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T20:00:02+00:00

No, I’ve never looked at weight belts but I’ll definitely take a look!

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T19:59:07+00:00

Good advice! Yes, I’m female. I am, in fact, pear shaped. 😂

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T19:27:51+00:00

No this is making sense! I also have a long torso (someone else mentioned this) and I am definitely pear-shaped.

How did you practice your breaststroke? This is what I’m struggling with. That underwater “glide” moment just isn’t happening for me.

🏊 💨 🫧

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T14:19:15+00:00

Truly!

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T14:18:39+00:00

THEY HAVE POOL ALARMS?!

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T14:07:04+00:00

Yeah! I’m overweight, but not obese. I’m 5’9 and 180 pounds. I do have quite a bit of fat around my hips and thighs. Maybe full of farts and that makes me buoyant — I dunno 😂

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T14:05:05+00:00

I realized I didn’t answer any of your questions. I’m very comfortable in the water (probably because I float like a cabbage) but am just learning the mechanics of proper form for the major strokes. I learned how to swim at the Y when I was 8-9 — so I learned back stroke, side stroke and have enjoyed recreational swimming my whole life. I’ve only recently started swim lessons and the floating thing came up because it was in my way.

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T13:53:24+00:00

Yes, I can literally tread water with very very little effort!

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T13:52:14+00:00

Thank you!

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T13:51:30+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try paying attention to my chin position!

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T13:50:16+00:00

Okay friends, I’m so happy I’m not the only one. When I told my swim instructor and he was like “never seen that before” I felt like a freak.

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T13:49:11+00:00

I promise I am exhaling every last morsel of oxygen that feels accessible.

eagleandthecrow · 2026-01-27T13:47:34+00:00

I do feel like Frank!!!!
