SWIMMING!

Since i was in Finland earlier this week i decided to use my opportunity to go swimming. The town were I live in Finland has a very nice swimming hall which includes the actual 25 metre long pool divided to several lines, a relaxing pool with water massages etc. and two pools for children and a water slide.

The first day I was just swimming without keeping a count on the distance, however the next day I decided to pay attention on how much I would swim just to feel more organised and to have a result from what to start improving. Firstly I started with breastsroke swimming for 200 metres, secondly 200 metres freestyle swimming and right after around 100 metres freestyle swimming only by using hands which I tried the day before as well when it felt much more difficult. After the first drill I wanted to relax my muscles in the bubbles and after 5 minutes I swam exactly the same amount as in the first drill. I included backstroke swimming as well but I prefer more the styles previously mentioned. This was the first time i swam since summer.Overall I swam a bit more than a kilometre and next time I would like to do the same drills but maybe lessening the amount of breastsroke swimming and adding more freestyle and backstroke swimming.
