Swim Class

On Thursday, we started off with series of drills as if we were relearning the basics of swimming, we were to focus on what we had learned from our videos.

25m kick only.
25m kick only on your back.
25m one-arm stroke w/ pullbuoy, switch arms halfway.
25m stroke only w/ pullbuoy.
25m focusing on hand position.
25m focusing on entry point and reach.
25m full swim.

There were a few other things, but I don't recall.
Then we did 16 25m sprints. The first four we went every 35', the next four was every 40', then we repeated those two sets for the second 8. So however fast you swam it, you had to be ready to start the next one 35 or 40 seconds from when you started the previous one.

I'm not sure what I think about this. It's a good workout, great cardio, but I don't know if it was appropriate for the first day after seeing our videos. The issue is that I feel I need to concentrate on form and all the parts. When I sprint, I'm fairly certain my form falls apart. Am I reinforcing the "bad"? She did say we needed to watch our form and not let it fall apart as we get tired, but I don't know that I'm at the point where that's incredibly realistic. Oh well, it's a minor nit. I'll just swim on my own and do the form stuff then.
