Basically, the whole idea is, well, effortless swimming. There is a lot of focus on being streamlined and reducing drag, maximising your glide and so on, etc.
Now obviously it's more effort to do 13 strokes than 9 or 8. So what's happened here is that just by holding your body in the most efficient, streamlined positions, you have reduced the effort required to swim one lap. |
Then again, some of us have yet to learn... to Swim, lol
let alone "Totally-immersed"
Drowning... you get-away from that, really fast.
One of these days I have that fear, to overcome!!
And the YMCA is only a mile from the house; I avoid it like the plaque.
Iceskating... is way more fun!
