So, if he keeps at it, I know he'll see a lot more improvement.

Kudos to your BF for sticking w/ it.

I am trying to help a friend swim. He is not a natural and definately doesn't have a swimmer/runner physique - he is built like a power lifter and has very short legs (we are the same height - I ride a medium bike frame and he rides an XS - he was a little upset by that "why did she get a bigger bike ? ? ?"

All we have been working on with a kickboard and snorkel is kicking, head postion and now body rotation, I lent him my snorkel so he doesn't have to worry about breathing. I don't think he will by ready for the blizzard biathlon in February - but he survived it last year (almost drowned and came in dead last) so I suppose he will survive it this year - and any way he got a great prize for last
