Swim Training: Part 1

Having had a long break from swimming I thought it time to start training again given that it is my weakest discipline.

Each lap is 100m, my warm-up lap is also front crawl.

My session today was a bit rubbish as the pool was really busy and in both roped off lanes there were people doing breast stroke so it didn’t look promising. Lap 07 was particularly bad as I was stuck with three people in the lane making it impossible to get into a decent rhythm or overtake them. Lap times:

Lap 01: 02:11.17 – Warm-up. Lap 02: 02:36.20 Lap 03: 02:44.87 Lap 04: 02:42.67 Lap 05: 02:25.42 Lap 06: 02:41.22 Lap 07: 02:56.97 Lap 08: 02:29.61

My previous session was a lot better in that the pool was quieter, although I forgot to hit the lap button so lap 7 includes extra two lengths! Here are my lap times:

Lap 01: 02:41.00 – Warm-up. Lap 02: 02:26.8 Lap 03: 02:23.5 Lap 04: 02:41.50 Lap 05: 02:51.70 Lap 06: 02:32.47 Lap 07: 02:41.72 Lap 08: 02:32.37 Lap 09: 02:46.47 Lap 10: 02:43.02 Lap 11: 02:45.93 Lap 12: 03:56.27 Lap 13: 02:42.62
