Extremely proud to announce that I just swimmed (swam? swum? eh…) from the beach of Mazzaro to the Grotta Azzurra, and back. This is the first time I went to the sea deep enough to not touch the ground lol.

I think that swimming on the back is the most tire-less method, while front crawl is the fastest but requires the most energy. But this is just my opinion, any advice on how to swim in the ocean? The salted water in my nose still sends me in a little panick mode, but I managed to calm down and continued. Will do again

    the most efficient stroke with easy breathing is probably the backwards frog, it’s very easy to learn, just pulse like a jelly fish while keeping a bit of your face out of the water.

    When I was younger and was in the water more often I found that I could do that forever without getting tired, just slowly gliding in the right direction. So long as it wasn’t too cold and the waves not too high it seemed like I could swim like that for as long as I could stay awake.
