My instructor confirmed my technique sucked:) and gave me some good pointers and drills to work on this week. She also gave me a link (see below) to the most graceful freestyle swimmer I've ever seen; not that I'm an expert but he seems to expend a lot less energy than I do. I'm working on drills this week and have another lesson; my instructor says there is hope and I hope she is right:)

Swimming
Since I'm staying in one place (Redding) for awhile, I decided to take up swimming. Never been much of a swimmer and haven't been in the water since diving the Great Barrier Reef August 2013. Although I love the beach, I've never been entirely comfortable in the water; my technique is terrible which leads to a lot of wasted energy and ultimately frustration. I've been thinking about (haven't decided yet:) doing a triathlon in 2016 so thought it'd be a good time to take a lesson at the YMCA.
