Sessions have been postponed due to lanes unavailability at the main pool at least until May

Anton after swimming session

Anton after training session. He has improved his result on 25m. It is 20.1s now.

Competitions postponed

Unfortunately, the competitions to which we should have travelled last Saturday have been postponed until spring due to adverse weather conditions in London area. This is sad, but we can't do anything about it. The good side of this is that until spring we will be able to achieve more and show better results.

Anton's new results:
25m : 20.2
50m : 48.0

so, he is improving!

Monofins shapes and stiffness

Today I have realized that my bigger softer monofin works better than slightly smaller "extra stiff" one. Does performance depend more on size than on stiffness? I should probably study this subject.

New Anton's results

25m : 21.2s
50m : 50.5s

Although he starts much better now, I think further training here will give some benefits.
Exercises for leg muscles will improve stroke strength, so focus on this.

Anton's progress

Latest Anton's results:

25m : 22s
50m : 56s

Things to improve for him:
* Start time. It takes quite long for him to start going. Once this is improved it can take 1-2s from his results.
* Arms position. When this is improved, it can take 1s per 25m from his result.
Good progress!

50m for less than 23s

Nothing else to say really. This is my best result since I've resumed training
