Way2Go GreenNetha. I think it sure beats trying to run! Keep at it.0

11 times today back and forth down the 25 meter pool. Now is that called 11 laps or 22 laps?
22 lengths or 11 laps!
For us old-time swimmers laps & lengths are the same thing. When all the track people got too old & too many injuries in their legs to keep running, they migrated to the pool where they decided that a lap meant getting back to the same place you started, as opposed to traversing the course 1 time (for those running in circles, that happens to be the same place). Oh well, the world moves on ;-)
GreenNetha, that's a big jump in yardage - nicely done :-)0 -
My whole body hurts

That'll pass, & as you do more it will happen less & less. If need be, back it down a little bit the next time & build it back up, you don't want to be so sore that you can't swim consistently. It's a marathon, not a sprint.........0

Nice to be back this morning (last swim was Wednesday last week). Did 2km total in 45 mins - 400m free, 100 back, 100, breast - repeat 3 times then finish with 200 free. Felt great.0

Hooray!! Back in the water today after 29 days away from the pool. The chlorine nearly killed me -- I guess the outdoor summer pools + open water swimming got me used to lower levels. I did my usual 40 laps (1.14 miles), doing the first half as freestyle, then the second half as various strokes and drills, for 51 minutes overall. Felt great to be back!0

In the 25 m pool? Good job CW
yup, migrated to 25m pool/ gym permanently.
CW, that's great work. How are you liking the 25m pool?
finding new pool a bit of a struggle mentally tbh.
in smaller 12 m pool, obviously had more breathers tween lengths and push- offs eating up way more distance.
however,will push through.
today i did 1km free with a few breast recovery lengths (1 in 8/10) then pushed on to a metric mile doing same.
sat in car now typing and shaking from effort.
will build up daily and due to start strength training next week.i feel a tad weaker with all the weight and some muscle loss inevetably.
thanks all for the follow-ups and support.0 -
2 MILES @ 70 min, matched my best time.0

Fantastic, Bruce!!!!0

CW - that's brilliant. Just keep at it and before long you'll be wanting to try out a 50m pool! I use a 20m pool and wish it was bigger, but that would mean leaving my nice, plush gym with great showers and free towels to go to the local leisure centre without those amenities. Plus, I did the math and the amount I swim makes the private gym cheaper than the public one, after factoring in travel time and costs plus the extra washing of all those towels 0

Finally back swimming after a 2 month hiatus.
However my sprained ankle is still giving me trouble when kicking. I am hoping someone here knows if/where I can buy a waterproof brace or some sort of support for my ankle.0 -
Welcome back, Ashen - sorry to hear you're having trouble with the ankle. What about wrapping it in an Ace bandage? I imagine that would dry pretty quickly once you're done with your workout....0
