The reason is as before - the lack of sufficient power destroys the elements of the style; what prevented me for over two years from building the necessary power was my poor decision to carry a 50kg weight for about 10m, which caused some problems (fortunately not too serious).
6 February 2020 - A chance for some swimming in the winter. Svetla's freestyle (crawl) is good, but my attempts to recover the way I swam butterfly in my student years are still quite unsuccessful (the lack of sufficient power destroys the elements of the style).

Here is what prompted the creation of this webpage - In the beginning of the fall semester last year (2010) I told Svetla that sometimes I detect doubt in the eyes of some students when I urge students in my classes (whenever a good occasion occurs) to do sports since it pays off and helps a lot. She told me - as you always tell them that you try to teach through personal example post some pictures on your website to prove that not only do you talk, but you do it too.
