begleitung Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 For activesg pools, only two people per lane are allowednow. If you did that, you would be frowned upon. but maybe clementi pool still allows it. So far i have not seen any tanners, except zhose who rest very long inside the pool.

Geo Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Just a sharing to fellow swimmers here who really enjoy swimming here - if you can swim 200m continuously and interested to improve / refine your freestyle strokes, can consider to do video analysis with SwimSmooth (https://www.swimsmoothsg.com/) Weeks ago, done a session with them. Though quite pricy about $200, but the analysed results and advises given have improved my swim tremendously. Please note, this is not for hanky panky with the coaches.

Nowadays coaches do their training/classes in their own pools or in private pools due to restrictions. I know of swimming academy who offers one-on-one lessons. They may refer you to the best location they have. Let me know if keen. PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competitive ones have a different material, are super tight and cost way more than the regular ones. They can run into the hundreds.

Hence, it's not safe for swimming. Geo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips? sounds like you are doing a pretty good job already with the strokes if you can cover 30-40m... I do find the time you break the surface for breath is much shorter than other strokes so it is easier to run out of breath, so perhaps now somehow you need to learn to regulate your personal breathing first before you can do further; try swimming slower, less frantic, to give yourself more time to focus on your breath... I am not a coach, and never had one, I just watched how others swim and learned from watching. And so that breathing thing was somethng I had struggled with before also... Now I swim all 4 strokes quite proficiently (not sure how correct my strokes are but I am able to swim laps quite easily so i suppose i am doing them ok), although can't do that many laps of butterfly continuously Marrieddecent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
