Mine's been closed for the year. Now they're saying outdoor city pools will open for lessons, lap swims, cardio classes and free swim. HUH? All of the people who were using primarily indoor pools are getting to use outdoor pools for 3 months? I wish the city would figure out a way to create some system. I too, am a grumpy swimmer (or non-swimmer, as it is...)0 -
My pool has been closed for most of the year too. So bummed out about it. I really miss swimming! 😖0

My pool is finally open, all lanes.
They do screen you at the door with temperature .0 -
Yes, 1 mile @ 51 minutes0
-
Mine is open from tomorrow. 45 mins only though, so doubt I'll hit a mile for a while (especially after 4 months off)0
-
Actually.... 1375m in 35 mins... so a 45 min mile is within my capacity it seems. Haven't lost as much swim fitness as I thought!2

Feeling 'blurgh' today, so whilst I hopped over to the fast lane and busted a gut doing so, I only lasted 30 mins with about (edited - apparently it was 4 mins rather than the originally estimated) 2 mins of that resting (aka getting out of the way of the faster swimmers!) - so 1.1k FC.0

42 mins gentle BS for ?1.3k0

Been swimming regularly since last post. Yesterday was a first go out with my 'toys'. Apparently, I'm not allowed to use paddles and fins in the pool as they're plastic and could scratch people... so that was frustrating. I was allowed to continue using my pull bouy, so used it for both kick and pull drills.
Today I moved from the medium to the fast lane. I am defo in the right lane in that I'm much faster than those in the medium lane, but don't have the endurance of the fast... so I spent a lot of time waiting at the end of the row, getting my breath back and then trailing the guy in front for 100m of so before taking another breather. Felt like I had a 20 a day habit though... so I guess this is something to work on (after a day off pool stuff!)
Oh, and had my first OW swim last Friday and going again this Friday. I'm treating this as incidental to my pool swimming regime as it's a slow b/s chatting to a friend and only about 600m - so more a recovery swim! So this week I'll do two more fast lane swims including on Friday morning, before hitting the lake in the afternoon.
Hope everyone else is having some great swims.1 -

They have re-opened ours for Private Lessons = $55.00/hr for a private lesson or Common Household Rentals - ie Family under one roof $200.00/hr" now I just need to adopt 19 kids so I can cut it to $10.00/hr which is still pretty steep.1 -
I just booked a session for this evening - trying to get back into at least one day a week, when I can snag pool time, which is pretty limited right now. My Masters group is back to swimming but at nearly $12 per session with no coach on deck, I'll pay the $6 a session and swim as an individual.2

How did your swim go @stephaniek511?
And - youch! @juliet3455... that's ridiculous pricing!
I swam twice today
First thing at the pool - 40 mins and 1.3k (in the middle lane, supposedly for those who can swim 45 sec and under. Reality - anyone who can swim steadily, as the slow lane is full of walkers, floaters etc... so spent a lot of time waiting at the end of the lane (not allowed to pass except at the end) or swimming circles) then later in open water with a friend- breast stroke again cos she likes to chat - so 24 mins in 11 degree water. Maybe 750m? Something like that.
Hope you're all smashing your fitness goals, in and out of the water.0 -
Oh my, @skinnyrev2b - that sounds a bit annoying. Our pool is set up so that we split lanes. It limits the amount of people who can swim (only about 20 an hour) so you have to make sure you're on top of things when they open the reservations up, but at least I can swim at my comfortable speed, consistently. Unfortunately if you are splitting a lane, you cannot use training paddles...I guess there must have been a few too many smacks on the head of co-swimmers! The last few weeks it has been easier to get a lane, I think people must be spending more time outdoors with Spring.0
-
Nice sounding set up @stephaniek511 .
Today was much better. I dropped out of the (ridiculously packed) session this morning in favour of a much more relaxed 4 of us in a double lane at lunchtime. Slightly disappointed I ended up 3 lengths off a mile in the allotted time, but only had to go slow/stop about 4-5 times cos the slowest in the lane recognised the overtaking rules.0 -
Pools reopened today. First swim in about 6 weeks. So did 1.6km for today. Good to back at it.
Glad have retained the weightloss on keto and even lost abit more as well despitr not swimming and holding steady at about 20 kilos (44 pounds) lost since October.
Blood sugar normal levels and seems I have reversed diabetes with no medication whatsoever.
No complaints!0 -
Nice one AQ! Especially on the diabetes front! That's ace!0
