Recently, a friend clarified swimming terminology for me. I'd erroneously been using the term "lap" when I meant "length". For example, when I referred to swimming 52 laps in my recent post, I actually meant 52 lengths of a 25 yard pool; this equates to 26 laps.
Today I swam 40 lengths or 20 laps; beginning with 100 yards (4 lengths) of freestyle and followed by 36 lengths alternating between freestyle and breast stroke. I really struggled breathing today with my freestyle stroke; felt like I was holding my breadth the entire length. Whenever I came up for air, I either took in water or just didn't feel like I could take in a full breadth of air. Don't know what is wrong but hoping to get a lesson soon to figure it out.
