mika-fan1001 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 hey! well i was wondering if theyre are any other swimmers here? ive been swimming since i was the age of 4, and im not that competetive as most people, so i guess you'd say im not the top swimmer actually no, i think i suck but thats also because i compare myself to my best friends which are great swimmers and i just realized i had a tan, i never get a tan, ask anyone whos seen me XD, so i checked my back, and not to a suprise, i have the worst suit tan line! its terrible! and it always lasts all year, lol. this will be lovely XD well i was just curious if anyone else is a swimmer here, or just likes to swim.

Ioana Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 do you train in yard pools? SC or LC ?

Ioana Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I just do it to train my lungs,because my coach has the habbit of making us do 25m underwater flyckick sprints ,so u need to be friends with lung how often do you usually breathe? In a race for example, say 100 free ,I start off trying to breathe just somewhere at the 15 m line,then breathe every 5 and after the turn I breathe every 3...that's if I'm trained ok,if not,I have to go with every 2 on the last 50m and do the last 10m sprint breathing every 3 or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ioana Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 you should try breathing every 3 ,it's the best one It balances the stroke. Also in training you can even try doing 5 ,because if you get used to little air you will be able to swim races much easier breathing every 3rd stroke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
