Mermaid Diva + Ping Pong =????

A Game of Ping Pong Always Helps!

I watched the swim turn videos AGAIN and realized I was missing a major detail! I went out to the pool this morning (in the lovely spitting rain) to work on the swim turn. After making my correction, I could feel how much easier and faster the turn actually is. I was so excited about getting this technique figured out that I started playing ping pong in the deep end of the pool. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, tiny rest, back and forth, back and forth... What a fun, but exhausting game! I didn't know I had been in the pool for over an hour when Coach Rich came outside to watch while drinking his coffee. He saw the big difference! It feels so great to officially say, I know how to do the swim turn!!!! I'm soooo excited!!!

What's my next challenge?
I have a date with Coach Rich on Monday for my 400 meter swim test. How far and fast will I go???
