Planning!

I'm normally not very good at planning ahead, but I'm trying to learn how to swim properly (finally) so I guess, why not learn another life skill while I'm at it? I am trying to research and write a sensible and achievable training plan so that I can, starting from basically nowt, swim a 10k next summer.

I am learning from social media, which is probably not the best idea but currently the only coach I have come from the school of insta reels.

as I have no background in swim training, I have taken to writing my session plan on a post it note, and sticking it to my water bottle so I can swim without stressing that I'm going to forget something or lose my place (because who knew basic counting was so hard!)

the nice side benefit is that I stick my little postits back in the diary after my swim and it's working as a little progress tracker.

conscience incompetence!

I'm older and wiser and I understand the learning process now. that doesn't mean it's not really hard. I'm a couple of weeks into relearning front crawl and I would say that I feel like I'm drowning a little bit less and occasionally I can coordinate my whole body to do the right things in the right order - and that's ok, because we're looking for progress not perfection! one day it will click and I'll be able to focus on the details rather than just fighting for my life!

When I was younger I would give up quickly when things got difficult, or boring. I'm not doing that this time.

probably.

I mean I'm trying to be realistic here, I've not had a personality transplant.

what do you reckon?

Can we turn an unfit middle aged perimenopausal woman, with no real background in swimming, into a ultra marathon swimmer?

absolutely no idea what I'm doing or where to start, but I'm guessing we can figure that out together ☺️

might have a new project on my hands 😂

ok this is a weird one 😂

I am way too impressed by whoever manufactures the stickers for for the sheer tenacity of the product!

I took my kid to Sea Life during the February half term holiday, she had a great time, tickled an anemone and earned herself a sticker. The sticker, and the jumper it was stuck to, ended up in the washing machine later that day. That was two months ago and the sticker is still in my washing machine, it wasn't doing any harm so I just left it. I supposed it would wash off at some point. I was wrong and this has become a science experiment now because it's still there, the ink is (almost) all still intact and it's showing very little sign of giving up on life. This washing machine goes on most days, sometimes several times a day, I have done boil washes of the dishcloths and the sea star just keeps hanging on.
