Swimming lesson #2

Just back from swimming lesson number 2 and I finally managed to breathe with my head out of the water. Towards the end of the lesson I managed to get 1 relatively calm breath in followed a few seconds later by a familiar panicked breath which, combined with a very impressive front crawl, got me half down the length of the pool; a new record! Tonight's new skill was the back stroke; the trick is the look up and kick like hell.
