44 Min Swim

44 Min Swim - 5:00am
1900 yds
43.18 yds/min

Each swim session seems to get better and better.  Today I had my "long" swim of the week and ended up warming up for 100 yds and then doing 17x100's on the 2:20 with flip turns after the first 25.  My other turns I limited myself to two breaths and then back to it.  I'm trying to train my body to remember how to breath in the water (not like Aquaman, like a swimmer...duh).  It's a learned skill so that your body knows how to get breath quickly, let it out efficiently and hold efficiently.  I think if I make incremental changes each time I swim I should be gradually increasing the number of flip turns and distance I can go without stopping. At least in theory.
