I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.

Breathing Should Be Easy - Anywhere?
Why is it true, that most people on dry land can hold their breath for 30 seconds or more, but put their heads under water in a pool for the first time and they get out of breath within a matter seconds? The quick answer, I believe, is comfort and habit. I aim to show you that there really is little difference between dry land and the depths of the pool. It's just a matter of psychology. Just think about that for a while and I'll get into it more in my next post.
