So I Started Swimming A Week Ago..

I’ve gained weight over the past 6 years since college in 2014, I decided to try dieting at first but then I started running, I hated it! It hurt my shins so much from the impact. That was when I decided to do swimming. A week ago, I could only do 1 or 2 laps in a 25 yd pool and I would be so out of breath, but I pushed myself and yesterday I was able to do 100 laps!

Here is a screenshot taken with stats from my Apple watch:

I notice that my time is kind of slow and it’s probably due to my technique, whenever I swim theres always that one person who is 50x faster than me and it gets me super motivated. Does anyone have a playlist of drills I can do?

Also, should I swim with “jammers”? Are they more comfortable with trunks that have netting inside? I want to invest in some serious swimming gear now that i’ve found out how much I love swimming.

If you got this far thanks for reading into my little adventure!
