another 44 lengths today. seems like 44 is settling in to be my 'normal' amount. I need to start pushing myself more, aim for 48 as a minimum.

I also need to sort out my mp3 player so I can swim with music again.

I wouldn't say my technique is fantastic but you don't completely forget it. I looked back through my LJ and found I started swimming again 6 months ago. My technique was shoddy, I could only swim a few lengths without stopping and was only managing 16 lengths. 6 months later and I don't stop at all (unless it means swimming into someone) and am managing 30-32 lengths, so you would pick it up quite quickly.

I struggled at first with my wrists - my technique on my arms was terrible and after about 12 or so lengths my wrists would be in agony.

I'm a little better now, but I still get lazy and don't do my arms entirely properly. I know I can go a lot faster if I do do it right though.

Jamie often complains about my swimming technique - he used to be a lifeguard, and did competition swimming for years, so he knows what he's talking about!

he was a very busy boy! the competition swimming/lifeguarding was before he got serious about the music, I think. you'd have to ask him.

I know he represented Wales in some lifeguarding competition. and he's saved at least two lives while working as a beach lifeguard :-)
