Had my furthest 1 hour yet!Strokes per lane (50m) are currently sitting at 22, what are some techniques I could incorporate to lower the rate? I focus on freestyle only for the time being.

Started swimming almost daily now for the past 2 weeks after a 5 year hiatus. Muscle aches are surprisingly mild, breathing on the other hand still feels heavily “conscious” if you know what I mean. I feel like it heavily affects my inhale strokes and increases the rate as a result. submitted by /u/Vexillum211202 [link] [comments]
