"Pat Your Head and Rub Your Tummy"

Can you do that?  I can pat with my right hand and rub with my left, but not the other way around.  If I really focus I can do it for about 5 seconds before it starts to break down, and then I find myself patting my head in circles.

And that is exactly the way I feel in the pool.  I hang off the edge at the deep end and do my kicking drills with no problem.  After all how much can there be to swinging your legs back and forth?

Then I head down the length of the pool and almost as soon as my arms go into motion the whole leg things falls apart.  With a bit of focus I can actually keep it going for 10 seconds or so, but only until I add breathing as well.  Then both legs set off on their individual mission, flopping and twitching and bending at the wrong spots!!

It's gonna be a long journey.  I have to ingrain one thing at a time so that when I add the next part that the original element continues on it's own.

I'm gonna do it if it kills me!!

Right now I gotta go pack!
