Did you swim today?

CW - after taking it easy for a couple of days the soreness will ease. You'll find as you do more that soreness will occur less frequently & will be less intense as you build strength in the triceps. Once the soreness goes away, push the speed again - just not quite as long. The more you do it the more you'll be able to do.....
Swam 6500 yards freestyle in114 minutes, the lifeguard was a little late (about 15 minutes) today - I thought I was gonna get knocked out of swimming again today. Tomorrow's plan is workout #2, knocking out the 2 1500 yard sets, replaced by 5 x 200 IM's, a 500 free (for a little recovery) & 5 x 100 IM's.....0 -

That's rather similar to my swimming speed, though I'm not able yet to keep up for long enough yet (1km or 0.62 miles max). And the pool and air are far too warm with close to body temperature and 45 C (116F). Not sure what the temperature at the pool in the sun is. May I ask what stroke you used?0 -
I swim most days - 5-6 times a week, since January - When I couldn't even make 25mts before flipping onto my back and gasping.
My endurance has increased gradually over time and I now freestyle (crawl) 2.5kms (50 laps) in 5 sets of 10 laps continuously.
I am very pleased with my progress as I have always been a very lazy person in the past and seldom got out of a chair. :laugh:
I use fins and snorkel but don't really bother with other strokes as I don't feel like it.
I'm glad I found this group because basically I l

Yes, swam 2 miles today in 74 min.
Freestyle, going one direction I do an overhead stroke; coming back a crawl stroke.0 -
Swam my usual 2.4 km IM but for the first time I had a waterproof stop watch with me!
So for the workout, I timed in at 68 minutes.
With the warm up laps where I'm swimming exclusively free style, the pace is much faster then drops off once I begin the IM sets!
Will try and get the overall workout down to 60 min at least - wondering how long it will take me to achieve that!0 -
Great job, all!!!!!

great advice ta.
swam a mile today alternating breast/ front crawl.was about 10% slower but just easing back in.
a slow swim is better than no swim imo.0 -

excellent again mac.
dare i ask if you eat back your calories burned?0 -
CW - I don't worry about eating back calories, in addition to swimming I walk most days plus do some other stuff. The only end of the spectrum I worry about is not going over (really only a potential issue on days I don't exercise) & even then I don't sweat it because on the occasions it happens it's not by much & I figure I make up for it most other days.....
Today's swim: 250 free, 500 free, 1000 free, 5 x 200 I.M., 500 free, 5 x 100 I.M., 1000 free, 500 free, 250 free in 97 minutes......0 -

No swim today, had a dr. appointment. I was debating going this afternoon, but I've decided I need the break with this being my first full week at full yardage. I woke up very weary, but I did go walk early & I'm getting ready to go walk for a 2nd time with my wife. All in all I'm pretty happy with this week & next week should be more of the same.....0

2k lunchtime then a bonus 30 mins after gym rather than getting stuck in rush hour traffic.

everyone else got the weekend off?
200 l today for 2600m.earned enough calories to bank 2 slices of cheese on toast for my fave treat tomorrow.
after swimming obv.
hope you all having a great weekend.0 -
Swam 3.2 today in equal amounts of crawl, back and breast. Took me 1 hour and 20 mins. Time was OK as for some reason I was really feeling tired, which is odd as I hadn't swum since Wednesday. Oh well. Will be back in the pool tomorrow.0

Better swim this morning - 2 miles crawl in 62 minutes. 2 minutes slower than my fastest time, but I am still happy with that. Finished off with 400m back and 400 metres breaststroke to make it a round 4km.0

swam 2 days in a row... am i the only person that looses count of lengths as I swim? no clue of the distance
0 -
Great job, Panda & Hannah!!!!!
No, Hannah, I think to some extent everybody loses count. I don't as much since I started swimming with an iPod, listening to the music keeps my mind from working so much & it's easier to keep count of what I'm doing. Personally, I find it easier to keep track by yards rather than lap count, each length is 25 years so I count by 25's. For me, it just seems easier to remember where I am......0 -
I count in laps of 10 and when I push off I say the number out loud into the water. I am sure people hear me, but I think they are just used to me going 1, 2, 3 very loudly I very rarely lose count. 0
