P/S -  Expect congested roads and insufficient carparks during this period (Both the REPC and SITEX 2013 are on-going at the same time). For people who are driving to collect your race entry pack, i suggest you to reach Expo before the operating hours for SITEX.

I have just started my running regime and I hope I can pick up my running again.

anyway, my organisation upgraded the BMI standards and I need to cut 6kg of my flesh in order to pass... time for more exercise and less food in order for me to pass the requirement.

wt - 81kg
2.8km running speed - 19min

Well, TI Level 1 lessons focused on understanding the mistakes/habits of every individual swimmers and relearning the correct body positions and strokes. It comprises of 1 x 3hr session, 4 x 1.5hr swim tutorial, and 1 x 2hr theory session.

For this session, more time were spend to examine the swimmers mistakes/habit in depth.

2. Contrast and Compare between tense and relax position
3. Superman Glide
4. Superman Flutter
5. Laser Lead Flutter (front and 45degree)
6. Skating and Gliding
7. Zen skating

p/s - I will only do a review after i have finished the entire level package.   :)
