Its not as if its the 1st time I went for swimming..For all its worth, I ve been swimming since ever :) Just that the habit got a backseat amongst other seemingly 'important' responsibilities at times and just the sheer unavailability of proper services.
Anyway- I ve started swimming at this Pool nearby which is quite well maintained..
This blog is aimed at helping me track the progress of this new-found commitment that I ve made to myself.. Hoping to update this space daily to track my progress..
Well here it goes for Day-1
Free Stroke/Crawl - 10 Continuous laps followed by 6 laps later
Backstroke (with hand-flaps) - 1 lap
Breaststroke/Butterfly stroke (none perfect)- 0.75 Lap
Pictorial representations of the various strokes is provided below for your reference-
I aim to learn the classic 'tumble turn crawl' mechanism used by professional swimmers when they finish a lap. Pictorial representation attached below-
To conclude this entry, I ve chosen a song 'Swim' by Jack Mannequin...goes like this-
You gotta Swim, swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim, Swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far to fall off the earth
The currents will pull you away from your love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the door
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open yeah
I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in, I swim
You gotta swim for nights that wont end
Swim for your families, your lovers your sisters
and brothers your friends
Yeah you gotta swim for wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
The currents will pull us away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the door
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open now
I swim for the brighter days despite of the absense of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in well, I'm not giving in, I swim
You gotta swim, swim in the dark
There's an ocean to drift in
Feel the tide shifting away from the spark
Yeah, you gotta swim, don't let yourself sink
Just follow the horizon
I promise you it's not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above, swim
Just keep your head above, swim, swim
Just keep your head above, swim
Signing off,
Sameer
