Sky looks very dark over in Jln Ipoh.. crap...

ANyone here swim at Bandar Tun Razak Swimming pool there ??

I usually don't dare to bathe in public changing rooms. When I come out of the pool, it's usually a quick rinse at the external shower, then change inside changing room, then go back home for proper bath.

Very icky lar, our public changing rooms, with the dampness and all.

Fast or slow depends on your speed, or how you want to swim. It usually also depends on your rhythm and balance. For example, eventhough Ian Thrope had an unusual rhythm, it definitely didn't mean it was efficient per se, coz it worked for him.

I can describe how I do it when I am cruising. This method is efficient in terms of energy saving per distance, but is not slow either. I've have taught this method to some people before. It seems simple, but it actually turns out to be not so easy for beginning swimmers because it requires rhythm and balance, but it is a good way to learn balance in the water.

For this method, I make one kick per stroke. Each stroke is a long and gliding stroke. Also, there is a lot of body roll each stroke. So it'll look like rolling left and right. Each stroke is fairly strong to provide the propulsion for the glide, so less strokes are used per distance. You should be able to maintain some speed which is necessary for this method. If you're too slow, it will not work. So in the end, there is enough rest between each stroke so you won't get tired for quite a while. I travel around 2-3 meters per stroke.

hey luckykid seems like you know so much about it...are u a compete swimmer too?
