DecI got back to the pool last night. I have to say that swimming in a bubble covered pool is quite dull. My only company was the small group of older ladies doing their water aerobics workout. While I'm proud of them for doing something good for their bodies, they didn't add much to my 700 yard swim.
I almost feel like I'm not pushing myself hard enough in the pool, but the last time I pushed myself as hard as I felt like I should I ended up light headed and nauseous. For now I'm just going to concentrate on swimming 700 yards until I can do it without feeling utterly exhausted afterwards. Then I'll work on adding distance.
Last night's swim was the first in over a week, so I really didn't expect much. I alternated freestyle with backstroke. In running terms, freestyle is the run portion and backstroke is the walk portion. I'm splitting them about half and half right now, with complete stops to catch my breath in between sets. I'll be pretty excited when I can do 100 yards freestyle. Hopefully that's not too far off.
