It would have to be a really mini swim, becuase as things are, I struggle to complete 25m. I need you to do it, you are inspiring me! Get back in that pool and do it - we know you can!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714527795744844429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-20185869845780504422012-01-23T06:23:17.118-05:002012-01-23T06:23:17.118-05:00Oh and why aren't we FB friends yet?Oh and why aren't we FB friends yet?Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-44861246251317570312012-01-23T06:23:03.461-05:002012-01-23T06:23:03.461-05:00Keep on trying Andrea, eventually you will kick co...Keep on trying Andrea, eventually you will kick coaches' butt! <br /><br />I can totally see why you love Jaxx so much, he's so adorable!!!!<br /><br />Don't give up my friend.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-77204440081741933442012-01-22T21:13:53.371-05:002012-01-22T21:13:53.371-05:00I love the last picture.

I don't know if I would. You will improve and you will do your tri and have fun too.

I have tried to swim numerous times. I sink. I sink like a stone. I have had people try to help me float. I sink. I have been watching your progress. Maybe I will take another shot at drowning...swimming, someday! Never give up! That's the motto!JenCreates098https://www.blogger.com/profile/15647649469144060185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-5263313744973338792012-01-21T20:41:15.157-05:002012-01-21T20:41:15.157-05:00I'm pretty confused by all this emphasis on th...I'm pretty confused by all this emphasis on the kick you are getting from this coach.<br /><br />What I've been told is that you really don't need to work on the kick much because<br /><br />a) you need the legs for the bike run<br />b) you are wearing a wetsuit..and so your legs are nice and floaty.<br /><br />Some tri people only kick ONCE for each arm stroke...certainly not the crazy stuff you see during freestyle races in pools.<br /><br />I *hate* the flutter kick. It's just such a waste of energy for what you get.<br /><br />What does your daughter say about all this? If you go the private swim coach route I'd make sure it's a triathlete person.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752798450146454511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-40587354978247751492012-01-21T20:38:50.527-05:002012-01-21T20:38:50.527-05:00That's so funny!

Yep, you probably will never go to the Olympics in the swim team but I'm guessing you can live with that. <br /><br />And that dog ... I want a cuddle. He's just gorgeous.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-21200688523788354632012-01-21T19:00:42.914-05:002012-01-21T19:00:42.914-05:00I LOVED that quote on facebook, and your made up q...I LOVED that quote on facebook, and your made up quotes cracked me up...especially the getting ready for a triathlon one because that's what I think every time I get in the pool, that I would ONLY put myself through something that makes me look this stupid for a race (or a challenge, same difference really). One of my oldest son's friends (who I've known since he was in 1st grade...now he's 19) lifeguards at the pool where I swim. I'm traumatized every time I have to swim in front of him. I tell him I'm not going to drown so please don't look at me. :)<br /><br />That dog is soooo stinking cute.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-75747478801423987112012-01-21T18:06:07.307-05:002012-01-21T18:06:07.307-05:00the made-up thoughts are funny :) i am sure he is ...the made-up thoughts are funny :) i am sure he is not thinking that! good for you sticking it out. you will get better!!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-85808356390140922282012-01-21T17:56:30.392-05:002012-01-21T17:56:30.392-05:00Good job for getting back in the pool and sticking...Good job for getting back in the pool and sticking it out!
