3 successive Mondays I get to the class and do at least 500m each time.
On 24th I am working on slowing down my breathing. Johny the instructor suggests increasing the number of strokes per breath each length, breathing every 3rd stroke, then 5th, then 7th, then every 9th, and then reversing the process. It feels it is making me slower - it is really that I am calmer, but actually more efficient. When I get back to breathing on every 5th stroke I feel much more relaxed and am able to swim successive lengths without collapsing at each end fighting for breath! I swim 30 lengths without feeling I've put in any more effort.
