00:11
that you are back in the swing of things,

11120
2210
00:13
it means that you are again doing
6
13330
2630
00:15
what you were doing before,
7
15960
1580
00:17
the same routine, the same rhythm.

It's when you start doing something again
9

We hear this sometimes, too,

when someone is injured playing a sport.
15

00:34
Maybe you're favorite football
player has been injured
16
34630
2790
00:37
and has not been able to play for a while,
17
37420
2460
00:39
and then when they come back to play,
18
39880
1740
00:41
it takes them a game or two,
19
41620
1760
00:43
but eventually they are
back in the swing of things.
20
43380
3510
00:46
That means they are back
to their normal form,
21
46890
2550
00:49
they are back to playing
at the top of their game,
22

00:51
they are back in the swing of things.
23

2110
00:54

the way they were doing it
24

00:57
before they left for a break.
