Swim Video

I was supposed to start the Honolulu Triathlon clinic on Monday, but that got derailed by a mild case of food poisoning . As a result, my first class will be tonight. A swim and run at Ala Moana. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Anyway, on Tuesday, I showed up at the pool to see an underwater video camera being set up. They record us and at a later class, we'll get to see the video and our coach will tell us what we need to work on.

They had us swim one at a time down a lane heading at the camera. Everyone did freestyle, and some did other strokes as well. I did freestyle and breast stroke. With the breast stroke, they also need to film you swimming away from the camera. I wasn't so happy with that idea, but it couldn't be helped.

The coach offered us the chance to see the footage on Thursday or the Tuesday after Spring break (which is next week). I voted for Thursday, but I lost. I guess most of the class isn't planning on swimming over the break, so they wanted to wait until after the break so they don't forget. I was hoping to be using the info in my tri class. Oh well.
