Swim class

I am very proud of myself.

I used to think I was only a slightly better swimmer than lead.

Thanks to my swim teacher in swim class, a coach here at UConn, I have begun to get better.

Not perfect. I have a lot to learn. But I can see myself getting better. I need to work on my breathing, but I atleast have learned how to swim on my back. I also have improved my freestyle swimming. I feel like I am actually moving in the water.

The hardest part for me is my posture and keeping my hips up and core tight. I also need to keep my head back on the backstroke. I need to keep my head down more when I swim the free-style.

I am just very happy that I am making progress.


Being a senior has some advantages, like having room in your schedule for swimming.
