UpwardSlash Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Haven't been to swimming since the Circuit Breaker.. busy and the timeslots are quite limited. Still learning to swim well, can swim the easy breaststroke but always seem to quickly run out of breath after 1 lap. 😂 A friend of mine commented before that I went too fast, but I did try to reduce my speed already. How long did it take you all to swim easily? I also trying to thread on water but to no avail. Quote
Geo Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) You can try youtube and eavesdropping on those coaching.. that's what I did to pick up my both breaststroke and freestyle -.-ll Remember during my late teens, used to swim often next to the coaching lanes. Always praying hard that the coach would yell out loud at the students not to do this or that.. then I would incorporate them into my swimming styles. Struggled quite a lot, took me a few months to improve as I wasn't swimming very often. Then lately after I bought the Garmin sport watch, and monitored my performance.. only to realise has been doing pretty bad and waste a lot of energy in certain movements after checking youtube videos of how those pro swimmers do. Once twitching here and there, actually less tiring and breath better. So for those who don't have a strong financial background like me but want to improve or learn how to swim - youtube and eavesdropping next to those coaching classes 😛 works for me, so hope works for you too Edited March 29, 2021 by Geo UpwardSlash 1 Quote

begleitung Posted March 30, 2021 Author Posted March 30, 2021 Read a useful tip for freestyle swimming recently. They suggested that one should look at the lane cables when breathing as to say half of the goggles should be in water may be harder. Geo 1 Quote

Came across that too...but personally feel that it depends on pool or sea swimmers. Lately, all the tips I used to learn and picked up for pool swimming gone into the drain -.-ll have to tweak quite a lot to adapt for open sea swimming for my first race event. *fingers crossing* hopefully, won't be among the last 10 in my age group 😛 Quote

As well as some other technicalities of the stroke Quote

Julian123456 Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 Sorry to ask this, but haven’t hit the pool for years. What’s the news regulation now except for booking slot and limited number of pax etc. We can only swim in lane? No more soak in water and trying to swim at ones leisure? also will the lane be shared or its only for myself get to spend an hour? and the one hour duration includes changing and bath? thanks and so sorry again for my amateur asks.
