    Haven't logged every time, but this is my fourth swim this week. Really working to establish the routine before school starts week from next!

    Yay! Got my hour swim in earlier than planned today. The pool closes for maintenance on the 24th or 26th for two full weeks. During that time, I might try out a bodyweight/cardio class...

    In China for 7 weeks this time, until September 30.
    Getting to the gym 5 days a week to swim. Helps keep me sane. Pushing through even when it feels like a martial arts sparring class, getting kicked.
    Practicing swimming diplomacy by doing some informal coaching when other swimmers ask. It is weird for me to think that I calm actually help another swimmer improve.

    Did 1000m today but it was a random mix of breaststroke and front crawl as there were no lanes up and lots of zombified flailers swimming in zig zags

    5km in a group of pubic swim sessions with no lanes. After the first 45mins they put me a lane in which helped sooo much.
    Lost track of sets but I mainly did front crawl or hand paddles. Used alternate breaststroke laps when having a break.
    Time, around 1hr50.
    Happy happy. Now for beer and pizza.

    I feel for pain. Most pools in China are like that with no lane ropes . Got broadsided by people swimming across the pool, head butted by breast strokers not paying attention.

    Good for you for persisting.
