So at the fitness swim (no we are not any "fitness" swimming it is mostly drills) the instructor decided to teach us back stroke. I sat there thinking, hmm he is going to see my backstroke and think I am picture perfect.
Wrong - He had a lot to say about my back stroke, and I stood there with my mouth agape. First he was telling me my head was moving too much and to hold it still. I don't know if it was or wasn't but for the next lap I held it still for him. Then he said your bobbing in the water too much. Huh?
Sometimes I get lazy with my stroke, and when I do LZ will remind to do this and that, and I will do that, but I haven't had anyone tell me I bob too much. I took the second class because he said that we would work on butterfly. I haven't even tried to do the butterfly since my triumphant return to the pool. I never was any good at it before, and I know I will bomb now.
But really - I bob too much? Really?

It's almost Halloween, but you won't be here. I'll "bob" for apples in your absence and/or will watch a DRESDEN rerun & see "Bob the Skull".
ReplyDeleteWhy not ask Laurie if you're bobbing too much?
I can hardly wait for you to do the butterfly - I never could do it due to a combination of lack of coordination & the fact that my left arm injury make me unable to do the left part of the stroke.
Can we start calling you "BOB"?
