75% of my class didn’t show up, therefore the lessons were held back. I use 75% because it sounds more dramatic than saying 3 people were absent. (Do the math: there’s only four people in my class)

So I asked the instructor to take a look at my freestyle stroke and give me tips. The tips and comments he provided:

• It doesn’t look bad, but you look too stiff
• Reach as far out as you can
• Your legs are too low, keep them higher

That’s all I learned. I ended up doing various drills (breast stroke kick, 4 laps of back stroke, 4 laps of free style)

An uneventful day indeed.
