I try to compile some swimming location around, post in post #1.

my coach posted a 3times a week training program.. but really lazy to follow la.. so hectic.. looks tiring from the program list alone..

I just swam yesterday.. cant finished my coach's program =(
next time need to allocate 1.5hrs..

Bukit Jalil
200m warm up
50mx4 snorkel + fin one hand forward position, one hand at torso, face look down
50mx4 snorkel one hand forward position, one hand at torso, face look down
(25m sprint + 25m easy swim towards other end
50m sprint
100m sprint ) x6 (only did 4)
400m cooldown (only did 300)

the sprint is difficult for me, cant do 100m sprint.. at 50m already felt liked ying

haha quite an investment, but the snorkel and fits i use it to snorkle in perhentian and tioman too..
all front crawl.. was not taught how to swim other style lol

water polo player usually very good swimmer lol.. esp on water threading.. which I sucks..

The girl who won Kapas Marang Swimathon is actually a rhythmic synchronise swimmer

you don't need too muscular to be good athletically, when you are too bulky you will hinder away from performances

btw you don't have to swim like him haha, can also slit in time to do weight training in between.

sad royal sporting house stop carrying speedo, they usually have discount during mega sales, speedo outlet itself almost never have promotional on going at all

@autumn2

train us haha

swimming in times square? 25m pool? 1.2m seems shallow..

I am resuming my class again next month with a new operator.. Yesterday I went there they ask me swim myself only.. shit le.. 2 weeks ago i swim 2000m felt quite relax.. yesterday I need to rest on every 50m..

The day before also like that.. after 50m already puffing gasping for air.. Still feel very weak after water entry and cannot feel the water while pulling..

ya use snorkel.. but cant keep my head straight lol.. the tube was moving here and there (mine is a swimming snorkel (at the center) u can feel the tube is waving left and right.

I think the reason why out of breath is because I am trying to do bi-literal breathing.. my LHS breathing still sucks

practising.. offcourse can do 100m with 3breaths.. but then after that will be very exhausted, my left side breathing is cacat (too low) my right side breathing is turn too high
i also did this set before 3 - 5 - 7 - 7 - 5 - 3 breath set
I call it the dying sensation sets that during the 7 pull 1 breath stage, it feels that u lungs is ripping apart yet u need to control urself not to use too much energy..

i read that the correct breathing is that one of ur goggle in water, and with your forward movement your head will push a ripple (hole of pockets water) that allows you to breath just nice

you hear this question in Musician - learning instrument, swimming - , singing..

It's true it's good to start early if you want to be competitive, heck i even heard of stories a 58y.o lady pick up swimming and completed her ironman.!

it's all in your mind but please don't feel sad if you cant compete with those swimmers that have been training since young, imagine how much head start mileage they had before you even started swimming

what is touch turn?

I need to swim tonight, anyone want to swim?

where and when u swim?

haha sry, will be in bkt jalil then

Tonight at Bukit Jalil, any comers? xD.. Trying to build up some confident before this weekend's PD triathlon

finally regain some confidences to swim tonight.. din do my initial planned 800 and 1500m time trial..
new coach came and give us some food for thought on how to swim for triathlon.. feels like relearning free style.. apparently all of us (been swimming together for a while) is swimming using the wrong groups of muscle..

cant le.. haha see you in two weeks time.. tonight collect bike... need to prepare for PD triathlon and then flying to bangkok for a week meanwhile

One of my friend who is doing the best among our PD triathlon did 23mins for 1.5k open water swim. He never swim long, only 30minutes workout longest.

He swam interval mostly, eg: set 60 sec / 50m and go everytime ur clock ticks at 60 sec.

I think i would prefer more like a relaxed swim training, come out from the water fresh after 2000m swim.. thinking to drop my swimming class, too much sprinting involved

around my predicted time for 1.5k swim, around 33m,
750m event on the first day a bit off 19m, i think not used to swimming in a long time yet..

not sure when, tmr it's the class again, dun hv urge wanna return to the class, unlike last time
