Suddenly making sense

We knew it would happen, but the swim program suddenly makes sense---which is not to say that I have developed any skills, but my breathing is much improved---and the skill drills are all starting to fit. Each workout seems to bring some small improvement in form (which should not be too surprising)---and I am feeling more like a fish overall. At the same time, I am still wondering whether I will ever 'love' swimming. The technical aspect of it makes it hard to just get out and do it with pleasure. It could be something like golf, where the technique makes it fun---but I mostly just like elevating hr and I am not such a technique guy.

Still struggling to do the VKs with hands on my head, but the SGBBs and were almost easy. Still drank some of the pool and my nose feels burned out too. Two fast swims in this workout which really made me feel like the technique was coming together AND like it was falling apart---simultaneously. The hip snap focus made a lot of sense in this regard, I think I need to do more thinking about where my arms are---but overall, the gradual progression through skill drills (since this was only the 8th time in the water) has brought me to an increased degree of comfort to date---and makes me confident that if I just keep drilling and paying attention to technique that it will pay off down the line. I figure I have at least two months before I go back out on the road, so that gives me a rather long stretch to get really comfortable and determine whether swimming will be a long-term part of my workout portfolio.
