And in between going to school

00:13.440 --> 00:16.100
and going to Japanese school,
you’d also then get some swimming in?

00:16.100 --> 00:19.570
Right. Right after Japanese school
we went to the swimming pool.

00:19.570 --> 00:22.160
‘Cause at that time
we had a swimming pool already,

00:22.480 --> 00:24.650
and we started our training.

00:24.650 --> 00:26.950

And how long would you spend at the pool?

00:28.850 --> 00:30.870
I know before the meets,

00:30.870 --> 00:36.350
we used to stay till around 11:00
in the night and train.

00:36.350 --> 00:38.240
(Chris Conybeare)
Would you also start

00:38.240 --> 00:39.580
in the morning before school?

00:39.580 --> 00:44.480
No. But on weekends we started
at 6:00 in the morning,

00:44.480 --> 00:46.550
and spent all day and night.

00:46.550 --> 00:50.420
We rested in between
because after we took our laps

00:50.420 --> 00:54.000
and our kicking and all that.

00:54.000 --> 00:57.440
Then we’d rest for a while,
and then in the afternoon,

00:57.440 --> 01:05.570
Coach used to time, take our timing
in all our strokes that we swam in

01:05.570 --> 01:07.570
and we used to swim.

01:07.570 --> 01:10.810
He used to time us on the 25, 50…
