Flip turns now a part of my swim workout
Towards the end of yesterday's swim, I was ticked that I'm 4 years into swimming, and still not flip turning. Based on their progress, my 7-year-old and 5-year-old will be flip turning before me.
So I decided to do a 500 yard swim with the pull buoy and do flip turns the entire distance. Mission accomplished. Now that wasn't so bad. Admittedly, I probably was flailing my arms on a couple and ended up going too deep on some others, but I did it.
Next step, no pull buoy. I did 200 without my crutch and did pretty well. Towards the end I was really pushing off of the wall and getting some distance. Sweet!
Now to stay strong and not regress. I do worry about folks sharing a lane with me while I improve.
