It's closing for six months for repairs to the roof.1 -
Makes sense as you want the best weather that you can get when opening up the Major structural element1

A very nice evening swim with ambient temp just above freezing. Two other swimmers in the pool. I just love winter swimming outdoors. The lifeguards are learning to bundle up.1
-
A quick noon hour splash. Actually more like 35 mins.
When I got to the pool there was 2 Bus Loads of Kids from the next town and the change room was a disaster. Had to wait until they had cleared out. Then one of the LG's warned me there was another School Group coming at 1:00pm - so I had to be out of the pool at least 15 min early.
1000m Front and Breast mixture.1 -
No swims for over a week. The Christmas Crud is making its way around our family

Got to check "swimming laps in the snow" off my bucket list on Saturday. So glad I got out for that. Not much accumulation but definitely some nice big flakes landing in the pool.1

Life guard was late again this morning so I went to the office early.
Heading to the weight room with my daughter tonight.0 -
I was the only swimmer for 7pm lap swim last night. Beginning to wonder if they will keep that slot going if more people don't start showing up...0

Forgot to post yesterday. Being the last session of ASC for 2016 the plan was a few of the instructors favorite drills - lots of play time. 12 in all based on the 12 days of Christmas.
1 x 25m Dolphin Kick w fins
2 x 25m Flutter Kick w fins
3 x 25m Whip kick
4 x 25m Broken Front Crawl @ 10s RI
5 x 25m Broken Breast @ 10s RI
60 Strokes for Max Distance - Minimum Time
7 x 20 secs Treading Water - even weighted - odd Vertical Kick
8 Pickup Sticks - Starting in Shallow end - Dolphin Dives to collect 8 objects from bottom of pool and return them to the shallow deck. w Fins assist for the deep end items.
9 = 3 Dives + 3 Lengths + 3 Waterslide rides
10 Item Tag relay - Move 10 items from Shallow to the Deep end deck & return to shallow
11 Flip Turn Relay
12 4 Breast, 4 Back, 4 Crawl. Relay - everyone had to do at least 1 length of each stroke
A lot of these drills/exercises are used in the Kids/Junior programs to break up the normal drills with a Fun Activity - a way of incorporating the skills they have been working on.
One of the items in the 10 Item relay was they tossed Life Jackets into the deep end and you had to get a LJ that fit you and put it on, secure all the Zippers/Straps then swim to touch the wall at the deep end and swim back to the shallow end.
If you have friends-family members who get in power boats with out a LJ because they think they can just grab one if they are in the water and put it on, you should get them to attempt this drill in the pool. Its hard and requires a lot of confidence in breathing control to put on a LJ when you are floating in the water. The 1st LJ was to big so it would just ride up. I had to do 4-5 rolls before I could get both arms in then I was able to stabilize on my back and do the zipper and straps.0 -
Everything is closed today. No swimming 0

Does anyone else find swimming in an outdoor pool a lot tougher than in an indoor one?
Just did 1500m in an outdoor 25m pool and it felt like 4km in a 50m one!

Not me. I don't enjoy indoor pools. It's almost always too hot and there's nothing to look at. I enjoy glimpses of planes flying over, the trees, the clouds.
That said, my last swim was kind of ruined by wood smoke sitting right on top of the water and no wind to keep it moving. Unusual for this time of year for it to be so calm.

Lol I meant physically tougher as in more taxing - it feels more turbulent to me and much slower.0

The 8x50 were a bit of a fail. Did them in
37 37 37 37 37 37 38 36 which isn't great for me. But that's what happens when you slack off. Thinking about going back to USRPT training for the next month or two to get some fitness back.1 -

I've been doing the same exact thing each time, but just trying to do it better. I know I'm not doing breaststroke quite right, but I only ever think to look up form videos when I'm at work, and I'm pretty sure googling "breaststroke form" on my govt computer would be frowned upon.
