This morning was the sixth swim in the new program. I've now had as many days in the pool in the last two weeks as I did in the previous six (as well as the 20 years before that). Improvements are still coming at a rapid pace. My comfort level in the water is much better. The side kick drills went much better today, even noticeable to the coach. I still don't have great balance on the side, but it's coming. I'm also much more relaxed. During some of the last few lengths, I was getting tired. Before, I would then thrash to the end of the pool, anything to be done. Now, I can calm myself, focus on good efficient form, and finish without panic.
If the 4:50 wake-up call doesn't kill me soon, I should be just fine for the rest of the year.
Swim: 5x100m warm-up (free, back, breast, pull, free)
Flip turn drills
2x(100m kick, scull 30", 100m kick right, scull 30", 100m kick left, scull 30", 2x100 free, 15")
2x150m (as 100m back, 50m breast), 30"
3x100m (as 12.5 m left kick, 12.5 m right kick, 75m free), 15"
Total: 2100m

Good stuff!
It sounds like you're a natural; swimming technique is notoriously difficult for adults to pick up so the fact that you're progressing so quickly is exceptional.
