then how to solve the problem? lol

Think u should not lift your head like frogstyle(breaststroke).
I suspect u lifted your back/spine when change of breathe.
Should only turn the head sideways while one side is half submerged in water.
While doing this, your whole body should also follow the same by twisting in same direction and maintaining a straight line still. (Imagine the movement of BBQ chicken wing on skewers)

I used to teach swimming in TARC while a student there. This is a common mistake but swimming need practice.

Should be no problem for you then! biggrin.gif

Infact I think it should be easier, with water drafting and buoyancy from the sea you'll be much faster biggrin.gif

But you need to learn how to sight while swimming so you will be on course biggrin.gif

Heh...would like to try open water swimming...
for this case, they will test u for swimming within certain duration before signing u in for the competition.
U planning to go? Singapore is alittle far actually. sweat.gif

I'm interested to learn water polo.Where can I join one?

Hi,
How old are you?
Waterpolo is quite a demanding sports. Normally need much training before can aactually start playing the game.
U need to be very good in threading water with each leg kicking down at a time in a sitting position or bicycle position they call it.

I'm 33 years old. Where can I get cheaper swimming class in Kepong area?

Hi,
Kepong area not sure. How much is your budget?
I have friends teaching as well. If I have the time i can teach as well.
Do let me know but what is your goal in the end? To be able to swim or join competitive swimming.

Just found out recently the condition of Speedo googles compares with Aqua Sphere after 2 years usage.

1 year old Speedo Aquapulse

VS

2 year old Aqua Sphere Kayenne.
Usage of Aqua Sphere easily more than x2 Speedo over the last 2 years, both saltwater and chlorinated pool.

In terms of durability, water tightness and anti-fogging, I'm convinced Aqua Sphere is a much better product compares with Speedo.

In terms of design & packaging, Speedo wins no doubt.  thumbup.gif
ps:- the best and cheapest anti-fog still own saliva. Forget about those expensive anti fogging spray. Just spit and rinse with water. Own saliva so no yucky.  wink.gif

Nice one Bobby,
The only reason why I got Speedo is the availabilty of its short sighted vision corrector.
I wonder if the other brands have it here I don't mind trying.
Regarding the anti fogging spray, i do get the anti fogging spray from arena and it works in for the open sea swim but not at the swimming pool. I wonder why.
