Who this is for

This is not a touch-and-go literary work andI’m not the abbreviated type of author.

If you need the fast-study version of how to task yourself up and achieve some desired end or personal state, you are definitely in the wrong place.

This manual couldn’t be a tutorial - it tried.So instead, it became a philosophic memoir.The ideas form into a thought guide for training but not a boss for making it happen.

I’m not here to tell you what to do or tell you how to do it.

I’m here to taunt you throughout the production about your results; get under your skin that I’m riding a crazy smart vibe.

If you’re troubleshooting, seeking inspiration or learning best practice, there are some great pearls here.It’s not a time saver if you want fast-training abbreviated summary notes.

On the one hand, I haven’t exactly taught you how to swim.This isn’t me trying to be your 1-2-3 type of instructor.

There are differences between coach, instructor, muse, Yogi.

If you haven’t learned to swim yet, this is not the specific reference you’re seeking just like if you’ve never had a dog, you don’t want a Getman Shephard or Border Collie as your first whack into the game.

If you trust yourself to advance through early swim — if you want to prepare yourself for what comes next — this book could be just the thing.

This memoir of underwater thought exploration should be a great orientation for the ambitious intermediate swimmer. That person can benefit from my experience.

Tech Swim is a rich and very detailed topic.I can’t say it enough about it.

The things that come to me during my swim are endless, fantastic, profound and lovely.

It seems simple but it’s anything but simple.You can hurt yourself physically with wrong goals so don’t pursue swim without honoring your body.

This memoir is formatted to express how I do self motivation during each lap, with allegories about life’s many challenges.

This book is supposed to be easy to digest but it depends on you.

Even if the topic seems far away or long to embody, this book loosely reflects the important goals and overview of doing these workouts for yourself — not to gain prestige from others.

The overview corresponds with each actual lap which count up from one to forty. I could leave it at that but where is the fun?

Instead, there are memes, stories, narrations, influences, kitties, guns and advice about safety and the government.

Plus the gear is fully explained and so are the angels & injuries.

Also you’ll find a bunch of deep Zen swim thoughts on self-sufficiency & health.

I am not a lifelong competitive swimmer by any stretch, though I’ve now been accused as such.

I don’t totally claim to even know what I’m talking about, except I do know my stuff because it does work for me and I’ve lived and bled with it often.

I do this activity very well after finding it in upper middle age.

This is a completely original work for me - I love it - it shows.

This is not some paraphrased thing - it is something I live! The only use of AI was to summarize a very early draft version of the work (will be published soon).

For Life Journeys - pick a crew like you’re going on a road trip.  I have lived through these goals, problems and injury rehab;it has been agonizing at times, plus I changed my body.

What was once a grand and detailed idea about making a huge complex tip sheet or gamer notes on the life process -has become a smaller versionof seasonal swim training and leveling up.

30 days in a year is what you need. In this time you can work toward whatever, whenever.

Your syllabus is coming.  This book is not comprehensive but a telling of my six years in and out of pools, in and out of injuries - and different gyms.

I have forgotten more than some will ever know about tech swim - most was by accident - some is no big deal. I have to remember - I’ve unlocked injuries too. I’ve had frustration, stuck pain scenarios - different improvements were required - to me - to the swim stroke itself - to my expections of the world.

Bursitis is catastrophic.

Remembering some of the small things is remembering they were not small at the time.

No one gets paid for being a good swimmer - or do they?

This silly work is supposed to be for my son and family health.

Like anything - I do I hope it’s for more than just me.Bomb swimming is its own virtue.

Now go forth. Not because you have a manual, or instruction set, or guru. You have a memoir.

I am your Yogi. You do not have a training directive from me.

You have taunts on one side and perspective on the other. I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing and so will you. Namaste.

Haven’t made a dollar from this That’s not what this is about.

The water doesn’t lie.

2000m — get in the pool.
