Eight Days off from swimming …

I hadn't swam in eight days and I felt like it. My technique was pretty good, but after I got past 25m I felt sluggish. I've also had a morning and evening work schedule that may have contributed to the lagging feeling. I was also focused on going at only 80%. My times reflected these factors. I still find myself concentrating on my technique while swimming too much. Perhaps it's normal while still in the early phases of learning something and maybe it's good just swimming by constantly reflecting on technique. Sunday's swim meet should teach me a lot about swimming training.
