    If you can try to bump it up to 1,000 and 1,500

    I swam 1,500 yards last night, and felt great! I would have kept swimming, but my littlest was done w/ her lessons and wanted to practice her swimming! :laugh: I felt very strong and really focused on less strokes, good form. Thanks for the tips!

    Any time. So what was your stoke count per length? When you swam your 1500 how did you do it? 60lengths non stop or did you break it up in some way?

    I love love love my water aerobics class. JUST love it. I recently hurt my foot by walking a few miles in flip flops so the water aerobics allows me to get the work out I need!

    Happy swimming to everyone!!

    WOW .. thanks guy,, i missed that topic before,,,

    i think that one of my problems is that i dont keep my elbows high enough and my hands are too much under my body.
    i cant wait to be in the water to try to concentrate on that..
    i also want to work on my breathing, i tend to like to breath every 2 stroke. bilateral but still only 2 stroke.. so will work on upping it up to 3 first and see how that goes.
    also... i normaly swim about 1500 meters for 45 minutes.. just trying to go as fast as possible .. but i guess i should do intervals intead ...

    anyways.. you got me going in that little head of mine now and i sure will try different things when i go for my next swim ...

    thanks !

    I would :heart: :heart: :heart: to swim, but here in the great city of Indianapolis, there are no pools around to use. Any pool for lap swimming is at least $60 a MONTH to use (IUPUI or YWCA). and the city pools are for (big surprise) children on hot summer days, NO LAPPING is possible without (you guessed it) a big monthly fee to go prior to opening - and only in the summer.

    I hate Indiana. Everything in this state is so bass ackwards and run by a bunch of Quakers!
