Swimming instruction

My swim class started today. The class is held in an endless pool with the instruction of two coaches. The endless pool produces a stream of water which allows you to swim while staying stationary while fighting the current, sort of like a treadmill. This way the coaches are able to closely watch your stroke and position in the water and make corrections as needed. Cameras are also used to record the session. This allows for further critiquing and playback to the swimmer.


I was recorded swimming today. The video will be critiqued in our next session. We also spent some time going through various exercises. These were simple and focused on maintaining stability and straight form in the water. I will have to do some homework to make sure I perfect these before the next session.
