Great Insights and drills
I was struggling with my breathing from the start actually, this course really gave me the insight that my exhale pattern was lagging, creating an hyperventilation mode, which left me out of breath after 50m.. Some drills were known to me, but I did not perform correctly. Very happy with the improvement!
Door een slechte ervaring vroeger met zwemles, is het ademen in het water voor mij uitdagend. Maar met deze goede oefeningen weet ik nu waar ik op moet letten en voelt het een stuk comfortabeler. Goede stap voor stap opbouw.
