I went to the pool yesterday. Didn't get in too much swimming because with kids.

I did practice the crawl. I worked on keeping my chest down. I think that helped a bit.

I watched this:

I don't keep my feet floppy. In fact, I think it is my too-fast kicking that is wearing me out.

Ok, I can swim 25 yards with the crawl.

I think I could do the 50yd, but I would be very tired. 75 yards, would be close to death.

My last boyscout swim check I did the breaststroke for about 50yd, then the side stroke for 25yd for the required 75 yd front stroke portion. I would like to be able to do the crawl for 75 yards, and not feel like I am about to die.
