With the help of an instructor (Melissa), my swim stroke made great progress this week. My home this week was close to the Rolling Hills Country Club; very nice facility with two lap pools. Staff were very accommodating scheduling 4 swim lessons within my brief time in town. Melissa was very patient and helped me improve both my stroke and confidence; she also gave me several drills to work on this winter so I can continue to improve. One tip she gave me was to use flippers; it is amazing how these help me stay higher in the water with less kicking; thereby allow me to focus on my stroke. With the tips and drills I learned from Melissa, I'm excited about swimming this winter and working toward my 1 mile goal!
Melissa also videotaped me but I'll upload later when there is a better WiFi connection.
