School swimming is GOOD. It's such an incredible thing to say, for me. With my training with PSC, I'd always felt school training was tame, and so had tended to avoid it. However, now, I'm really realising the benefit of going to after-school swimming. As long as I push myself to swim hard, why shouldn't it be hard, effective training?
After just a week, I've really opened my eyes. In particular, the coach currently in charge of Tuesday morning training, Randy, coaches in a particularly modern way, focusing a lot of technique, and similating race conditions, rather than simply more meters. This is a fresh experience for me, and one that I really appreciate after training with old-fashioned PSC for so long.
I freely admit my own lack of fitness at this point in time. I hope, however, that school training will at least make me competitive in time for HKSSF in mid-October.
And afterward, I've decided to continue participating in school swimming, getting in good enough shape to dive right back in to PSC training come summer, and be in position to fight to take the lead.
