Diff’rent Strokes
Another Monday, another session in the pool. As I’m still in the Prep Phase of my training, I was concentrating on technique again - 200m warm-up, 500m of various Total Immersion drills (both with the Fist Gloves on), and then 200m of full stroke. One of my clients, Gary from Tri Northumberland was also...
