I'm totally buggered out now!
It happenes to me every single wednesday, even though my day at uni isn't really that long....why u may ask?
COZ I HAVE SWIMMING FROM 8AM-10AM...that's why!
Well at least the bronze medallion test is over, well I think I passed it..hopefully!
Anyway, now that we've done our bronze medallion (life-saving exam stuff...u know, CPR, EAR, rescue operations and underwater search patterns) it was time to move on to 'How to Coach Swimming Squads/Teams)...so as usual, doing it the HM style...u have to do it to feel it and understand it better...u can't be a teacher/coach w/o having a rough idea of how ur atheletes feel! So yes...we had to do squad training...for the next 2 weeks i must add! As quoted from a mate 'If this doesn't improve my stamina...i dunno what will!' It's tiring ok...i think we easily clocked abt 2km worth of swimming. Little u might add? Well try doing it under timings and stuff like that...ok maybe i'm making it sound really bad....but yea, i mean its all managable, but u just feel so worn out. The feeling's always great after a swim...feeling refreshed and all...abt 2hrs later sitting thru lectures and tuts, the effects starts to set in and like now...as i'm here TRYING to revise for a test tmr, i hear the bed calling out my name!
I'm not really looking forward to this but after we go thru the squad training thingy, the rest of our swimming practical lessons are focused on water polo coaching...hahaha! The moment i heard that we had to learn water polo...i didn't know what to feel...excited- to learn a new sport or dreadful- coz i know i will suck badly, having not played the game b4 and not even knowing the rules! hahah! The only thing i ever knew abt the sport is that the water polo guys usually have great bods! Just becoz the uni built a new water polo pool..this is what we have to do now! Surely! I'm still finding it kinda hard picturing myself playing the game...in the first place...have u ever seen the height difference between most of my aussie coursemates and me??? *slaps forehead* Well...we'll see how it goes, i shall update about my water polo attempt when the time come....
The downsides of Wednesdays!
