First Hydrotherapy Class Went Swimmingly :)

OK so it was an early start, and I got my coin stuck in the locker so I had to paddle sopping wet afterwards into reception to fetch someone to retrieve my belongings, but it was good.

I was warned to only do class 1 in a  half-hearted manner (bearing in mind this is the Advanced Legs class, if indeed there are such things as 'advanced legs'), otherwise I'd not be able to move tomorrow- but I'm not exactly sure i obeyed that rule very well.

My Physio did say that you kind of get caught up in what you're doing and the slightly silly appropriate music that accompanies it- and I did. It was fun. It was basically mostly all the warm up exercises and some of the games that I teach in my kickboxing classes, but in water, and then a chance to do a  couple of lengths before home- but I have a  feeling tomorrow may not be a  bed of roses, and plans to get walking around Ladybower will be postponed til Saturday.

Apparently there are on average 6 classes, so by then I'll be back into swimming, and will probably haul myself over there once a  week again to start length counting. All good.

  1. Brilliant!

    The “Advanced Legs” class eh? Does that mean that there are “Preliminary” and “Intermediate” Legs too? Fascinating.

    Perhaps you should change the band name… Eyes/Legs

  2. Haha..well, yeah I guess there must be...I will have to go some to catch your lengths-lapping up though..actually I doubt I'd ever come close probably. I can't remember what my best was in a hour when I used to go each week a couple of years ago. 65-70 or something like that maybe?

  3. Rubb... No it's a decent amount. Aim for 80. I can rattle off 3km in an hour when training 120)

  4. wow.
    It could have been more I can't really remember but I wasn't attempting to break records, just boringly breastroke from one end to the other. I will see what I can do- but hopefully without exacerbating the obvious problem.

Have a tendency to go in feet first!
