Since I’m swimming alone, I’ve decided I can do a few workouts where I focus on my stroke technique. (Always needed.) It also mixes things up and makes my workouts more interesting. I may start incorporating this type of workout once a week because I can. I actually really enjoyed this one. I hope you do, too.
You may have noticed that I’m a few days late with this post. Obviously, that wasn’t on purpose, but I’ll post another tomorrow.
