I went to my second swim lesson last night. I had hoped to get the pool at the gym with my friend before Wednesday, but schedules did not align. It'll be two weeks before I go back and now I have my own gym membership, so I'll be getting some practice time in before my next lesson.
We worked on breathing with my face in the water again. I felt a little closer, but definitely not there. In addition to breathing work, I got some pointers on technique for my arms that definitely helped me glide. I also got to use fins, which were great until they made my feet cramp up.
I felt like I did worse this week than my first attempt with the backstroke.
There's so much coordination involved. As soon as I focus on breathing, my arms don't pull right, my body doesn't twist. There's just so much going on. I'm really looking forward to a lot of practice next week.
