Swimming

I went swimming last night, after multiple missed sessions for a range of good to not-so-good reasons. Being able to exercise without putting weight on my knee was a huge plus. The swelling around my knee is almost gone. It is still a little tender to the touch, but much improved from a few days ago.

I focused on the back side balance drill from Total Immersion and immediately noticed an improvement in my freestyle speed. I'm not timing myself for now, but the difference is large enough to trust my mental timer. Also, I hit the wall harder.
