It's fewer than last time, but I can explain:
- Yesterday's doubled lift reps beat me up good.
- I swam in units of laps rather than lengths (2 lengths = 1 lap).
I was sore last night, but this morning it hurt to lift my arms (let alone get dressed). I am sore all through my arms, shoulders, chest, and back (which an expertly trained anatomist and olympian can tell you are used during swimming). So i cut myself some slack.
The latter part was an intentional new rule i imposed -- vexed by my constant need to stop and breathe I decided to punish my body by limiting its chances to do so in the hopes that it'll learn to go without air. It wasn't as terrible as I thought it'd be - i rested a little longer between laps, but probably no more than i was before in total.
The guy that gave me some pointers before was back and offered a few more, notably about my rotation and breathing -- I tried implementing his suggestions but inhaled a great deal of water. I am not a perfect swimmer yet.
