I was naughty this week – I missed my normal swimming lesson! But luckily the team at BaySwim came to my rescue with a make-up lesson so I didn’t fall behind! If you aren’t able to make it to a lesson, each participant can utilise one make-up lesson per term.
I attended another beginner class with a different instructor. This class had a mix of skill levels, genders and ages – from someone who was learning the basics of swimming to others who were trying to build on their skills and strokes like me.
The instructor was able to tailor the drills and lesson to the skills in the class meaning that everyone was catered for – by everyone, I meant the 5 of us.
In this class we practiced our kicking from the hips – think awkward dad “dancing” hip wiggle but in the water, freestyle breathing with the kickboard and backstroke (I still can’t do backstroke in a straight line!).
I also went to Baywave on the weekend and managed to squeeze out a couple of laps of freestyle! Really stoked with that but I definitely need to work on my fitness!
