Individual Medley swimming

today, being wednesday, I went for a swim. No class so I swam by myself.
the pool is 33 metres long - by 25 wide - a bit harder to calculate distances.
so 4 x 33 free, (132) back, breast and fly = 528 metres warm up with flips        528
then 132 i.m. 264 i.m. 396 i.m. and 528 i.m.                                                     528
didn't feel like warming down and sprinted 2 x 33 fly.                                        396
                                                                                                                       396
                                                                                                                         66
total swim                                                                                                      1912

today's swim took just over an hour.
interesting that as you become fitter your training sessions become longer.
I like i.m. because you swim all the strokes. each stroke has technical aspects to focus on, and I believe you end up with a better balanced body.

cheers dears!
