FAIL!

I completed my intermediate course and in short, I failed. I didn’t graduate to the advanced course and in all honesty — it doesn’t bother me. Areas on why I failed were due to “poor breast stroke, side stroke, and back stroke.”

I don’t disagree with them but my goal wasn’t to learn every swimming stroke. My goal was to perfect the freestyle stroke and learning a few survival techniques when things go awry during a swim leg of a triathlon.

In the end, I’m glad the class is over and will continue to focus on increasing swim endurance and being more efficient in the water. I have exactly 4 months until my triathlon and it’s time to get serious. I have been putting in the time (3-4 times a week) but I think I have to draw up an official regimented training plan with weekly goals to work towards.
