When I swim in the mornings at shelly beach I usually do a few standard swimming laps (free style &amp; breathe stroke) and then do some free diving laps to just improve on my apnea and distance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have been doing 33 yards (as the friendly custodian of the pools &#8220;The brass monkeys&#8221; tell me is the length which in metres is just over 30 metres) pretty easily for about 3 weeks and decided it was time to swim back and do 60 to 65 meters. I wanted to see what my stroke looked like so I asked Damir to spot me and make sure if something bad happens he is there on hand to help as well as be the camera man again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I managed to do 2 x 60M today. The first attempt I felt was much smoother and much easier but the camera came of the pole when some big waves came over the pool barriers so we missed the whole dive. As a result I had to take another breathe up and attempt to do it again. It was much more difficult today then my first attempt about a week ago because the waves were big and causing a washing machine whirlpool effect making it difficult to swim without getting dragged backwards (you can kind of see the waves breaking on the surface).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was happy with the effort though and the fact that I managed to do it twice in one session in very choppy and wavy waters is a decent effort for me \ud83d\ude42 I think looking at how the professionals do it and looking back at my stroke, there needs to be lots of improvement on the leg work, I don&#8217;t seem to get that stretch that I see when others do it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, the next goal is to fix up the stroke and then attempt to do 3 laps, which would be more or less a 90M dynamic. I would be really happy with that !<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Video of attempt posted above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So today I decided to keep a record of my dynamic apnea swims that I have been doing over the last couple of weeks.
