![]() Excellent Goal! Simple. I like werner's suggestion too...maybe counting breaths is a start. If your pattern is regular you can quickly estimate strokes, but even if it's not, you might practice counting breaths for a few lengths then you won't forget to breath.

![]() Thanks Werner and Doc Suzanne (btw I just saw about your car accident, hope all recovers fully and speedily). I will count breaths and live with the +/- 1 error for now.
I could have made my goal more precise: Count strokes for one length and remember to breathe OUT. (Breathing IN is never the problem.) |

![]() Thanks for asking :) I've been surreptitiously updating my original post in this thread. I counted spl only for a few lengths in one practise. It wasn't "good" by the published guidelines, but I can't say I'm too bothered, as my swimming in general is going so well since I started swimming a broken kilometer twice a week. It was a psychological issue. Now I go into the pool and swim first, and only after a 1km am I allowed to practise drills. But now i prefer swimming to drilling anyway, so it's all switched around.
I'll do another spl later this month. Maybe once a month is a good idea. |

![]() February: Best SPL = 23
March: Best SPL = 22 [5 month gap working on breathing form mostly, which has improved balance tremendously, legs always feel light and floaty now.] 01 September: Best SPL = 19 Woo-hoo! I've ducked into my Green Zone for the first time ever! Height = 177cm, Wingspan = 180cm Green Zone: 20 to 16 SPL (scm) |
