Time for a swim lesson

Philip puts me in touch with Dougal, an infamous Wellingtonian swim coach.

I arrive late (not a good start) in amongst his Clients - mostly kids learning to swim !

By the end of the session Dougal has deconstructed my short, inefficient stroke into a long easy one by asking me to reach for the end of the pool on each and every stroke. Result shaves 10 strokes per length (read: energy efficient !).

I'm gonna need all the energy efficiency I can get !
