Do you switch to the evening for swimming now?0 -
Yes, I have 4 children home for the summer so I will need to swim after my husband is home for the evening. I don't care for evening swims as I would rather swim on an empty/semi-empty stomach. Ah well, 1st world problems!mpeters1965 wrote: »Do you switch to the evening for swimming now?0 -

Frustrating isn't it.
Thankfully someone lent me their goggles today and I got a 45 min swim in. No clue on distance given the shape of the hotel pool!
That's a nice empty pool you were in by the way!

62 minutes ...didn't count but I felt slow and lazy
Dog sitting again this weekend so I did drylander workouts the last two days. Felt SOOOOO much better to get back to the pool.0 -
1800 yards. About 50 minutes. 300 swim, 50 kick, 300 pull, 50 kick, 4 x 100 on 2:30, 50 kick, 300 pull, 50 kick, 300 swim. I made up the workout when I was driving to the Y this morning. I had pulled all my other workouts out of my bag to organize and realized as I was driving in that I never put them back!
Panhandle - 1st world problems yes, but we sure get used to swimming at our regular times!

Feel for you AQ.
I have a MRI scheduled next week to look at my shoulder.
I have not been swimming since April 22

Hope things go better for you with the shoulder, Bruce. Have you switched to another exercise in the meantime? Biking, running, walking? I biked 15 miles Saturday and was amazed at how much of a work-out it was. I'm in great cardio conditioning but my legs have not kept up with my arms, lats & lungs.Bruceapple wrote: »Feel for you AQ.

Yesterday was a lazy day. Or I could be all cool and call it a 'rest day'... but mostly I just didn't want to get off my butt and go to the pool.
63 minutes tonight, 50 minute mile, 2k total. 8:1 Crawl:Other stroke ratio

Thanks Stephen - 2 years ago there was no way I could do anything like yesterdays routine.
The work outs you are doing are pretty impressive.
We all have to look back at where our starting point was to realize what we have accomplished.
Nothing wrong with having a Cool Day once in a while. Our bodies actually need that type of day to recover and heal.
Today was a lazy ( Cool ) recovery day for me, 750m mixed breast/back/free/kick drills and sculling - 1 hour, more chatting than anything and some quality Hot Tub time.0 -
So I'm back from the break.
Yesterday rain meant no swim. Today was up early for swim, then still can't find where I out my goggles are, so called off the swim, and didn't leave home. Hope to find them and swim later today!
Sorry to hear Bruce. Last time I was out with shoulder pain (a couple of years ago now)I stayed out of the pool for quite a few months to let it heal. I began to think that swimming was no longer a viable exercise for me to be doing.Bruceapple wrote: »Feel for you AQ.

But gladly when I came back, and with the shoulder exercises, it's not recurred.
One major stroke correction I had to make though was to change from my palm entering the water almost sideways (ie thumb first) as I had been taught many years back, to instead entering with a flat palm angled downwards.
The thumb first entry places great pressure on the shoulder, causes rotator cuff problems, and in my case, I suspect, was the cause of 80-90% of my shoulder problems (http://www.swimsmooth.com/injury.php)
I also eliminated the mid line cross over.
Since I rested the shoulder and thereafter changed my hand entry, the shoulder problems have not recurred even now 2 years later! In December I watched a video of my swimming and realised the thumb first entry and cross over was unknowingly creeping back in, and I worked to stamp it out again immediately!Hope things go better for you with the shoulder, Bruce. Have you switched to another exercise in the meantime? Biking, running, walking? I biked 15 miles Saturday and was amazed at how much of a work-out it was. I'm in great cardio conditioning but my legs have not kept up with my arms, lats & lungs.
That's my one gripe with swimming!

1950 yds, just under an hour. I did Ms. J's workout again. Felt good!0
-
MsJ's workout and then aquafitness class. I can feel it, but it all felt good. I'm getting better with my bilateral breathing too, largely due to MsJ's "making me do it." It is a total switch for me to head to the pool with a planned workout. I am more motivated and I get on task faster.0

Haven't done a long swim for some time so - yeah - it was hard!0 -
Today will be day 5 with no swim. We have been busy with kids' sports, our 25th! wedding anniversary, and husband has evening work functions. If I don't get into the pool tomorrow, I will implode!0
