Swimming day 1

Today I was finally able to attend my gym for a swimming session, which had been previously mentioned on my CAS plan for this term. I should've managed my time better in order to involve myself more actively in this sport for it is not only a very good way of exercising, but is also an area in which I could improve greatly to achieve worthier results. After all, I would love to develop my skills in swimming since I really enjoy this sport, and find it more of a refreshing recreational activity rather than an obligatory workout. 

This time around, I decided to revert to my most comfortable style which is breaststroke; I did 1.25 kilometres in about 42 minutes, which was slightly disappointing since I was expecting to complete that distance in at most 40 minutes, since that is the average time I tend to require. The fact that in this session it look slightly longer shows that my stamina has reduced due to very flimsy visits to the gym; consequently, this is definitely something I will have to improve upon if I wish to continue evolving my swimming abilities. Although I was surprised at how I could quite freely maintain a constant speed without having to pause for more than one rest sometime in the middle of the course; I guess that, after all, not all hope is lost.

Next time that I will attend the gym, which I plan to do this weekend, I will continue working on my breaststroke by decreasing the time it takes for the same distance back down to 40 minutes, and from there onward I will attempt to lower it even further. Additionally, I shall try to arrange sessions with a professional trainer who will hopefully aid me in developing my swimming skills by learning new techniques correctly, considering that I do not wish to memorise styles inexactly, which may happen if I train without the help of a tutor.
