Kicking is hard.
Especially front flutter. I swear if I didn't push off the wall at the start I'd never make it. By about 40 meters in it feels like I've stopped and have begun going backwards. At least, if I keep my head up to breathe. If I lie flat in the water, face submerged, then I start moving just in time to need to breathe again.
This may be a long slow process.
It was interesting to note though how easy normal crawl seems to feel in comparison now. I can do 100s with breathing every 4th stroke (and 50s with every 6th), which is new, and may be pretty useful since it isolates technique. It is also faster than going all-out but breathing every other stroke.
October: breathe right month
November: kick month
December: find a coach month? Might be a bit early.
