My experience as a polo player is try to use to the situation inside the pool. Like what Ben said, push yourself harder. Motivate and b confident on yourself. Try to train more often, maybe 4 days per week. For the time you are training, try to set a target for yourself. Let say 1st few days, u try to set 500m and complete in 1 hour. Then another week increase it by 20 - 30%. By following all this, u will notice differences within 2 weeks. That is what i did when i was playing polo. Hope my experience can help you...

yep... another advise by our mr polo here..
kenneth teach me how u guys can water tread for so long..

pool open from 9am to 12pm, 2pm to 5pm, 6pm to 9pm. Around Saturday around 12pm to 2.30pm and 7.30pm to 9.30pm swimming training. The night one is for the competitive swimming training.

Sunday morning they will also train, but seldom in the pool. Running training. Noon to 2.30pm got another round of kids training, evening i think around 5pm they got swimming class around.

You want to train to swim fast then 100m rest 20sec then go another 100m do that none stop then cutting down on ur resting time to 15 10 or 5 sec. Training for long distance is different pace already.

Hey ben how long is your long distance? I tend to get bored after moderate long distance swimming (around 30 laps)... coz nobody accompany me swimming, and the most important 1 no lenglui at that time... hehehe
Oh yeah i've an very bad experience in 3K last week... i met a bin tai lou (flasher).... i'm in the toilet looking at the mirror and i notice this malay guy sitting right behind of me looking at me... so i went shower and wanted to change my clothes and didn't care much... at that time i was lazy to close the door and that guy purposely get up from where he sits and wanted to watch me change... WTF! then i know something is not right... i quickly pack my things and wanted to leave... and while doing that... that guy just take his pants down and showing his little bro to me... OMG! i just leave the toilet as soon as possible...
BTW FYI i'm not a gay and 1000% doesn't look like a gay...

lol.. Haha... Jz do some cycling there and wif ur hands "playing mahjong style". haha.....Try to have the style of lying on the water if u are tired with above style. Then chat awhile the time will b pass vry fast. But now, i think i cant even stand 5 mins...... About 3 yrs din swim liao.. Even swim, i guess withing 200 m lembik adi.....

Haha. Yeah i remember my coach saying can only rest for like half a minute. That was when i was going for my swimming classes. I regret stopping la, but I didn't have time, my grades were going down.. and i was to tired in the end.

Looks like now, i got a lot of word to do, in order to get that six pack! LOL!

for last time 1500m freestyle lor...but for now.. 600m also gasping for air already...
do we need to equip with weapons? i damn takut with those perverts la wei...

same here... u guys dont laugh at me when i swim... hahaha...

reason for stop?
walau.. girl also wan those packs ar...

Forgoten to mention 1 thing. In order for ur legs to have enuf power and reduce tiring, we need to do "frog jump" very often to increase the power of the legs and reduce the chances of getting cramp...

Ben, my reason for stopping : Too tiring , no time for myself, grades were going down. But i think the thing was .. I HAD NO TIME! Which was scary. I really wanted to continiue, cause i was at a good stage. With lots more practice could have at least represented Selangor or the PADE team. LOL, not too sure abt it tho

Yeah, if not 6 pack, flat stomach, but strong la hehe

Then when we girls wear 2 piece or bikini's, baru nampak stylo! hahah

oh gosh! i hate frog jumping... always end up rolling on the floor... sigh...

lol... 6 packs.. don wan la... flat stomach...

If not 6 pack, just the lines at the side , forming the packs good enought what hahaha

agreed... just the side lines then look very... what they called.. "sexy"... hahaha..
the women runners have those packs and i felt that makes them not feminine... just my opinion..

Aiks swimming can make 6 packs? Didn't know that... i guess i have to start swimming everyday hehehe

imo, doesn't really help tho'... swam for 4 years hardly see the packs also... but greatly help in losing weight and training chest... do u guys notice that most of the olympic swimmers have damn nice chest but no packs?

The women runners look sorta weird. Haha, yeap. Sexy indeed. If you do your share of sit ups and stuff like that, it would get you that six pack. Swimming makes you lean.

Yeah Ben, u have a point. Super good looking chest, flat lean stomach. LoLs

many of my friends ask to do sit ups and cardio.. need a lot of effort and time.. damn those packs...

there's one american swimmer who always challange with phelps.. his body ar... make me go ... well tone man... not too muscular and very firm..

Woo. I have the ab king pro. Trying it out now. When i get the good results, i will let u know, then u guys can buy it to.. HAHA

wooot... how much u bought it? kaya nye...

gal 6 pac not nice le... got muscle abit den nice liao
