I've been out of the water for 14 days now, since finishing my half-mile open water race. My right ear has been giving me quite a bit of pain lately, but it's apparently not swimmer's ear (as antibiotic drops haven't helped). I'm going to the doctor today to get some more advice. (I've had a crown put in recently, and the nerve is sensitive; might need a root canal; I'm wondering if that's causing my ear pain too.) I'm going to abstain from swimming until I get this figured out. (Which really bums me out!)

63 minutes.cramped up after yesterdays squash marathon.
100% total rest day tomorrow.

oops.misjudged my schedule so got 2k intoday to stretch my muscles.
extra bonus swim dedicated to those unable to get in a pool .

2k.

I haven't posted here before I don't think.
But I did swim today 3kms/ 60 laps freestyle in around 78 minutes today.

welcome aboard.
i can only dream of the luxury of a a 50m pool or3k in so fast a time.
well done.

Today i first did Stronglifts 5x5 in the gym, and then went for a 1000m breast stroke swim afterwards. Speed was 24: 22 today, and I think my technique is slowly improving. There are some strokes where I manage to get the dolphin movement right, arm movement and kick, and then I really do swim fast. But unfortunately there aren't many of those yet.

I think she has gone by the convention of 2 lengths of the pool equals 1 lap!

hmm.i always assumed a lap was around pool circumfrence ie 2 lengths+ 2 widths top and bottom.only ever seen a rare few do that tho.

i did my normal regulation 156. lengths x 12.8 m for 2k today.

Yep - in a 25m pool, 2 lengths equals one lap.
So in your pool I guess 4 lengths equals one lap or something along those lines!

2100 m in 40 mins. It was a treat since the pool was setup for 50 m this AM.

Back in England last night and back in the pool for a proper swim this morning (versus lazy holiday pool swimming!). 2km mix of back, breast and crawl. Felt good to do proper exercise.

welcome back.

2k for me also in an empty pool.treat.

Great job, everybody!!!!

yes like a fish! Im getting used to fins going to add in arm things too or a pulboy

Great job again, folks!!!! I'm looking forward to getting back in the pool tomorrow morning, my bag is already packed & sitting on the couch.......

Back in pool this morning - just a 30 min swim (normally 45 mins) as had to be in work a little early. Felt good to be back.

Yes, swam 2 miles today in 79 min.

1k freestyle for the first time since i did a sponsored swim as a cub scout!

brought on due to a strained quad muscle from squash lastPM, breast just not manageable.
then the power went out !
hopefully not a sign from above.
great day all.
