Tonight was water polo night. I had to babysit at 6:15, so I went to the 5:00 swim team. I had forgotten that it was water polo, so I got to do the drills, but most of the 5:00 team had never played water polo before, so it wasn't really fair for me to play because I've played a few times before, with my swim team, which is really intense. So while they were playing, I was swimming shallow laps (width-wise rather than length-wise), and working on my lung expansion by doing the laps not coming up for air. It felt sort of pointless, but I did notice that I didn't feel as if I need to come up for air quite so soon.
I enjoyed doing the egg beater drills, which I could feel working my legs and abs. The drill is to move your legs around in separate circles, like egg beaters, so that you don't have to tread water , but you can stay up in the water and throw/catch the ball one-handed.
I missed Swim team practice on Monday, so that I could finish my Extended essay, which is now in, so hopefully I won't have to miss anymore practices.
