I can't swim.... very long that is.

When I swim it usually involves thousands of dollars of gear.  I scuba dive.  Not often enough.  :)  I can scuba dive all day, or as long as I can without getting the bends.  I've been told I'm an efficient swimmer and I can move around easily.  Well, that just means I know how to move with tons of gear on.  Put me in a pool in just some trunks and tell me to go and I feel a little bit out of my element.  If I plan I on doing a triathlon in 2 months I better get some more pool time.  I did laps for 15 minutes in the gym pool and was whooped.  But I was also hauling butt, by my standards. 

I think just one trip to the pool has told me plenty about my swimming style though.  I need to work on technique.  I need to work on being efficient with my movements and breathing properly. 

I hope everyone is outside!

Cheers,
