I found this video of Ian Thorpe via Bill Anders’ Photos & Tri-rambles blog earlier this week. I just had to have a copy here to remind me what effortless swimming is really supposed to look like. The film’s in slow motion (50% of real speed), so you can really see some detail. Check...

Swimming - AGAIN!
I had such a good session in the pool this morning . . . that I’ve just got back from another session. Loads more work on the same basics as before, interspersed with some lengths of full stroke.

The usual measures - height, weight, lungs, body fat, heart rate, BP, etc. As expected, I could do with losing around 1.5 kg (a massive...
