I went last night and it was a free for all. Made me think of Gutzy and his China swims. People joining in, but not having ANY idea what swim etiquette is. Good grief. Friday night is family night. No more Friday night swims at that pool. I was aiming for 45 laps, but got to my 36, did one more, and got out. It was a crappy swim anyway. Here's hoping for Monday!
The life guards should have a duty to maintain order in the pool and at least one goods lap lane. I love my Y. The life guards don't tolerate messing around.1 -
1600m
Slow but done.1 -

Ahhh, Mondays are much better at this pool. Adult lap swim only. I got my full 45 done "plus one more." It took me all of an hour, but it felt great. And then the hot tub as a treat.3

After a year and a half as a slow triathlete, I joined the masters swim team at the YWCA in November but procrastinated all month. Finally set my alarm for 4:45 a.m. today, got out of bed...and found the whole city coated in an inch of ice. Chipped away a bit at the sidewalk and still made it into the pool by 6:30. Super nice people all around. I was super slow, but enjoyed it and am looking forward to doing more in the future. The first time I've done any kind of work out since 7th grade swim team, other than getting in the pool and swimming straight laps.

Just keep pushing through the walls. Your mind is the biggest obstacle, not your muscles.
You can do it. If I can, anyone can.
I agree with ^^.
@emmab0902 you don't give yourself enough credit for your physical strength and mental abilities. Like @fishgutzy has said to the people completely new to swimming " just add another length to the swim each week/session " and you will find yourself at the distance you want/need. When I was starting my Triathlon training I actually slowed my pace down and increased the length by 250m each week. Then once I was close to my desired length I ramped my pace backup. A technique that is used across all endurance sports, we do that it in the running club, local biking group and even the local cross country ski group.

Got my 45+1 in last night. I'm used to swimming in the evening after work. I actually prefer it as I am not a morning person, but this swimming from 7:30-8:30pm is tough. By that time of the evening, it is just too easy to be "too tired" from the rest of the day. But it's only until mid-Feb. I can do this...1

No swim, but got a run in, even though it ended in the dark. I have a summer goal to climb Mt. St. Helens in August to celebrate turning 50. I did it with my husband and kids in 2015 and it was awesome. I was in great shape, but it still kicked my from behind. Putting a lofty goal out there is keeping me in my lane for swimming, but I also need more running than once a week, so I've worked in Wednesdays as my 2nd run day. For some unknown reason, my legs and lungs felt strong today. Must be the swimming, lol...2
