Swimming like a fish!

I always said that I wish I could breathe under water and I’m feeling like a fish again! Sunday swims are becoming easier and more natural. I’m flowing through the water and concentrating on my technique. Instead of worrying if I can or cannot do certain movements, I’m just swimming like I use to. The only thing that I’m not yet confident doing is to spin around at the end of each lap. Although it would not hurt me, I don’t think that there’s any reason to rush it because I’m already sore as it is and that would really take it to the next level. I’m feeling good after my swim but I have to admit that I’m pretty worn out. I am physically exhausted and for some reason also mentally drained. I tried to take a nap but I’m not sleepy, just tired. I’m now down to 30 laps in 20 minutes instead of 30 and I’m not pushing it, that’s just my natural momentum. I still spend 30 minutes in the water exercising. When I arrive I do 2 laps of warm-up by walking, pedaling, and hanging in the deep to stretch out my spine before the big workout. Before coming out of the water I take my pulse and float on my back to relax and cool down. Love it!
