Floating around the pool with my 4-year old son on a crowded Sunday morning.

PONDERING

Program:

4 x 400 (200 Crawl, 100 Backstroke, 100 Breast) Start 10:00
--------------
1600 M (39:45.41 minutes)

Just took it pretty easy and pondered life as I swam.

I feel sorry for the swimmers with poor technique. They expend so much energy to get nowhere. It hurts to watch them.

I need to buy some swim fins so I can put some more variation into my programs. I have hand paddles, but don't use them because I tend to overexert myself when using them.

Wore my brand new Baby-G watch while swimming.
I was a little disappointed that the count-down function can only be set in whole minute intervals, so I used the stopwatch function instead.

I think this is how I'll be using the watch. I'm not to much into button pushing while I take a breather between laps. I'll just let the stopwatch keep running and look at the time.

Boring program. I've ordered a waterproof watch. So soon I'll be able to provide precise times for my slow swimming.
