I can use a lane in the community center's pool 2 or 3 times a week for 30 minutes while my kids are in swim team, and I'd like recommendations for swim workouts that will benefit my diving.
I'm fairly fit, though working to lose a bit of weight. I did a 10k in January and am training for a half marathon in June. Left to my own devices I would just swim slowish laps, though that seems to mainly be an arm workout. I don't know any strokes other than freestyle and back stroke.
Should I put on fins & use a kickboard (they have them there)?
Should I focus on legs more?
While I'm at it, any out-of-pool recommendations I could do on the pool deck? (squats? lunges? a practiced flick of the wrist offering my credit card for once I've decided on dive gear?)
