Yes it can be very boring unless you have a hot swimmer girl in front of you!!
I try and think about being efficient and strong in the water and not slip into sloppy technique... I also try and resolve the problems of the day when I am going up and down, up and down.
And I find a 50m pool much better than 25m - and better again if it is outside. You're probably going to Arena Joondalup - I find that they have that too cold for some reason...
And finally, swimming is never my first choice for exercise - but always feel better once I've done it... helps with the back pains too!!
We should probably start getting this thread back on track and issue surf reports ![]()
You could also do some hypoxic training. Try to swim for as long as possible without taking a breath. Added benefit as training for surfing when you go under ![]()
Also in terms of exercise for weight loss remember most important thing is your diet. Ain't going to lose weight drinking booze and eating junk unless you eat healthily!
Beaches were good this morning. Finally some banks with lefts and rights, glassy, sun was shining and bigger than expected considering the drop in swell.
Hey GPA did you happen to check it out today? Just managed to get the night of and hoping there at least rideable![]()
My two bobs worth with the swimming and losing weight thingy. Hard yakka in the pool generally cuts the flab and builds the muscle. hence no weight loss. i.e.....muscle weighs more than fat. Ya never know who may jump in the lane next to you. Mark Visser one time and a couple of olympians another just to show you how slow you really are swimming.
Dropped by Seconds yesterday and there were a few people out, it looked real nice out there even tho it was 2ft... shame what little swell seems to have dropped off, real nice conditions this morning.
So judging by the gloomy reports, I guess I was the only one having fun today? Raced off after the exams and managed to get 1/2hr sesh b4 the winds kicked in. Wasn't big but was fun.
Is it just me or is the line up in the surf generally closest to the which ever entrance from the car park to the beach? I walked about 100m down and had a nice little bank to myself and same with a few others who were ripping it on the next bank.
