Anyone keen to swim at Times Square in the mornings

Lately the water is cleaner, especially in the mornings as that is when they do cleaning and clearing of pool debris
Anytime between 7am-9:30am is fine if you are keen to swim

Sure Do drop by soon !

Most of the days including week ends are fine 

LOL can't let that happen. PM me or Senyii or Timetraveller when you plan to drop by

haha same here too

been swimming 2.4 ~ 2.5k on previous 2 days.. not straining on the body but not getting fast nevertheless...
how to improve my speed? talking about improvement via technique, anyone have a underwater camera? taping it is good for your improvement

Unless you have really good sense of self body movement concious, it is going to be difficult.
I know I always have body coordination problem.

I also know after 400m my stroke would change and I would have to exert slightly more energy to maintain my pace.
Easy or not, I will do on 2:20~2:30 / 100m for any distance I am doing.. Hvn't tried beyond 2000m tho..

I also heard contradict comments on this, I am not sure on this.
To swim fast, swim faster... Technique will need to accompany with endurance..

Anyway I am varying different swim style each session to see how it feels to my body, I do short breakdown like 2x100 or 3x100 mostly because I want recovery so that I can concentrate on my water entry and recovery more..

Izzit good idea to have consistent left and right hand stroke?
I realise that my left arm have better pull although my dominant hand is actually right.
I think it's related to my dominant right side breathing that cause my right hand to pull differently..

Now trying to swim bilateral all the way during training, swim one side during race.
After water entry you suppose to drop your elbow, i always fail to do that, causing a less powerful pull

ya, 1 eye in the water, 1 eye outside the water while breath at side..just rotate, not lift ur head. u lift ur head, ur butt go down, not good.. not in bodyline..

Thanks for your encouragement. In the adult class I am in, I actually saw a lot of older woman learning swimming. I am surprise I am the only guy around that age at there. Maybe most guys are born to swim by nature  so they don't need class but definitely not me.

yes that is what I am trying to say. I cannot confirm it 100% yet cause just experience it once.
When I try to go under the water surface, I took a breath, then I bend down my knees and body. My foot is actually can stand on the bottom of the pool if I was to stand upright. But as soon as my upper body is under water surface, I feel like I am being push upward. My foot left away from the bottom of the pool and I was like at a dead body posture on the surface. But face facing down, so cannot rely this as life saving technique lol.
I have to re-try it again next time.

I wish to go to do own swimming after the class or at other day to make my learning faster but as I do not yet completely know how to keep myself above water I think I shall not do that until I can be assure I am fine to swim alone.

I actually have a question on the breaststroke kick. If my reasoning is correct, the kick tries to mimic the frog way of kicking water, so the bottom of the feet must remains 90deg angle in order to have the most kicking force. But why the legs must spread outward? Why I can't I just kick in perfectly upright direction (imagine we are standing upright, then squat down with both legs close no gap, then stand up again, repeat this posture in the water instead). Isn't this upright kicking gives more direct kicking force to move forward?
