SwimQuest Mathraki Third swimming day

Today's plans changed. We should have done technique offshore then gone to Arillas. But, after the morning swim the currents increased so we were back to Mathraki for lunch. However,  the teaching tips for today were:

• Roll from hips into ribs and finally shoulders
• Reinforce yesterday's points on kick and arms

It was lovely to focus on technique, sheltered between two islands, rather than in a pool.

After lunch we went to an island, under the impression that it was supposed to be calmer than Arillas. In the event it was still pretty rough and discouraged me from doing much more than focusing on breathing air rather than water. Even the experienced swimmers found it rough, although they were able to spot a few fish. I was ever so pleased to reach the boat. Type 2 fun in my case, for sure.
