Still swimming...

The swimming seems to be going better.  I’m still just swimming drills, and nothing else.   I was told to only do these drills for the next month.  They are getting easier so hopefully they make a difference once I start actually ‘swimming’ laps.  One of the drills is really difficult to do when I have to share a lane with someone else – it’s a side arm drill and I tend to wander quite a bit when I’m on my left side.  I was sharing a lane last night and was really focusing on staying straight and I got much better.  I did tell the guy I was sharing a lane with that I tend to wander so sorry if I ran into him.  I never did thankfully.   I still can’t imagine swimming back and forth over and over without taking a breathing break, but what I really can’t imagine is swimming in open water without a stopping point every 25 or 50 meters.  I am still working on the breathing and find myself winded really quickly.  I guess that will just take time and practice like anything else, but still frustrating nonetheless.
