Learning to swim as an adult is a humbling experience. It takes commitment and a willingness to put in the work. As a natural athlete, it is often even harder because often the expectation is that it will come quickly. Learning to swim well, with correct technique, is a slow process. Tamara came to Rise Up Racing in October, ready to put in the work to learn to swim. Since October she was worked tirelessly, going to the pool multiple times a week. At Rise Up we have a four-drill progression for our beginner swimmer athletes. We first go through all four drills with fins, then we take off the fins and go through the progression again. This is all before we even attempt freestyle. It is a big deal to graduate from fins and/or to move on to freestyle. Well Tamara officially is swimming freestyle. and although we still have things to work on she will begin swimming workouts and building towards PSU 70.3.
