Total Immersion Swimming...

I was googling about one thing or another to do with swimming equipment and some lovely person on a triathlon forum mentioned something about TI swimming. This I have never heard of (which is not a surprise as I have never researched swimming before, I just used to swim in the local club) so I did some more googling and it turns out the TI refers to Total Immersion swimming.
I won't go into detail here as there are plenty of sites that already do so, with people who have actually tried it ;)
Suffice to say it is about making your body work well in the water, maximising e'fish'ency (sorry, couldn't resist) every movement becoming smoother and swimming more like a fish!
It looks great and I can't wait to try it!

Other than that I've decided to stop breastfeeding soon. I've been pregnant, breastfeeding, pregnant, very sick, breastfeeding since 2008 now and quite frankly I am in need of a rest. It's a shame as I know I will miss it oh so much. Baby boy starts nursery in August and I will need to work soon enough, and I am really, really tired, so... Anyway, the upshot of that is I am not going to spend a great deal on a swimsuit that is a perfect fit for current boobage, I will wait and see what happens and in the mean while get a suit 'that works' lol.
From the sounds of it I will mainly be drilling strokes and re-learning how to swim to start with anyway! The speed will come in time, I am sure :)

Hope you all have a great weekend!
