Taking advantage of our pool

I finally made it to the neighborhood pool. I kept thinking it would be too cold. We always have wind and even though the pool is heated its really cold even in the summer. I was surprised how not cold it was this morning. There was actually no wind and once I got swimming I didn't feel cold at all.

I did my drills including bi-lateral breathing (love the pool bouy), full stroke, chicken arms, 3:6, gliding, etc. I definitely used my pool bouy and when I started to swim without it I forgot that you actually need to kick.

My kick needs work. I found some very helpful videos on YouTube to help me with my technique. I'm so sad that I finally took advantage of having a heated pool in the neighborhood and its the last weekend the heat will be on. Oh well I got some great advice on places to swim for the rest of the season...
