Rest minimum time possible between repeats to maintain quality across

= 24 total – rested 10-15 seconds initially and this gradually increased to 30-40seconds. Breathing felt good, felt like my hips were staying up and my head neck more neutral (sometimes I stick my head too much up out of water when turning to breath).
