Decided this is the best way to keep track of my swim progress after trying google docs, calendar, and wave. I'll post how I did with respect to each workout. If you are a more advanced swimmer you can check out the workouts at http://fsuswimclub.org. My workouts are mostly for beginners, since I am one myself.

Repeat of an old workout. I just realized that the set list is kick, pull, swim and not all swim. I could not do the 200 kick and the only time I could complete was the pull. On the plus side, I figured out how to breath and stroke correctly. Breathing is just a matter of getting warmed up enough and not letting yourself sag when you get tired. A correct stroke involves the use of your forearm.

2100 yards
Today's workout. I'm not sure if my shoulder is sore or if it is hurt, I'll try the workout anyway. Technique is going to be the real focus today. I need to really work on turning my body to breath and reach. Kicks also need some work.
After the swim I'll do some abs to improve on my posture.

Monday !!
Attempted the 2500 yard swim. Frank did the 3xxx yard one.
Got to work late, Call of Duty, and left work early because of Call of Duty. After Monday's swim (shown below) my right shoulder is a bit sore. I managed to complete most of the workout within the times except the 8 x 75. Breathing is still giving me trouble but I am getting better at it. I need to figure out the correct hand paddle motion underwater. I've heard that it is an "S" shape?
