Getting Back in the Swim

It sucks when you make a return to the pool after 2.5 weeks and a surgical procedure to find one of the most revered coaches in the history of swimming in the United States (and the world) standing on deck. That makes it a bit hard to concentrate on how you are feeling instead of thinking about what the person on deck might be expecting. Granted the team I train with is the Daland Swim School Masters, it is known that on any occasion Peter Daland will decide to drop by. Here is a little info on Peter Daland: USA Swimming - History/Coaching Legands

It felt nice to be in the water, but I could tell my stroke wasn't very efficient. My flips turns were terrible. I kept trying to avoid tucking my leg so I would flip too far from the wall. I was also afraid to try breaststroke in any situation except warm up and warm down. Things were relatively painless though. The suit rubbed a bit. I just kept adjusting it and it worked out ok. Tomorrow I might hit the ocean.
