Hi yes we will try to catch up - my coach is not always allowed at the galas because of COVID rules so we do not always have videos - I hope it stays at level 1 now then we can get video

Hai you’re back you are litteraly so freaking fast I look up to you and do you do land workout everyday

[@micabotha]

Hi Leah thank you but there are #swimmers here even faster. I am just recovering from COVID lockdown. I was diagnosed with upper crossed syndrome in February 2020 - it happens to swimmers you can read up on it. So I now do land training to correct the effect of UCS twice a week. We see it as an additional land training session - other than that I train in a pool alone.

@@leahflorendo760 hi Leah yes Michael Phelps developed it too - it happens to teenagers that have huge growth spurts. I grew 13 cm in one year. You loose balance as you need to get used to.your new body. In swimming we need loads of balance in the water. Slowly getting it all under control, getting used to my new body and that is why backstroke is getting back💪👏👏
