@blinry@chaos.social in my thirties I became a father and I can’t just drop the kids in the pool and come back later. That would be pretty irresponsible.
That’s when I started swimming again. Nowadays we have a family memberships in DLRG which allows me to swim when my kids have their training.
I really enjoy it because I can swim pretty long without getting too exhausted.
Last year we participated in a 24h swimming contest where you have 24h to swim as much as you can. Last year i did 5km. This year 10.

@blinry@chaos.social only front crawling exhausts me. After 50m I am totally out of breath . 😅 So I am eager for any cool hints you share on technique.
