mwz: Day 5 Swim day also

Today, I used my brand new Y membership. I got up at 7am and went for a swim.

The pool is only 20 yards so my laps were only 40 yards. I did 16 laps total. A little over half of the time I did free style (crawl)
and the rest of the time I swam on my back.

A good portion of it I would swim one length free style and then come back on my back to catch my breath. I'm having a hard time keeping myself oxygenated. The problem might be that I breathe out through my nose. I can't get all of the air out of my lungs by the time I need to breath in again. I guess some people swim with nose plugs, so maybe I'm supposed to breath out my mouth. I'll give that a try next time (which will be tuesday).

So today I did 40yds x 16 = 640 yards or about a third of a mile. I didn't time myself because I couldn't see the clock without my glasses.
