I must have forgotten to post yesterday's swim: 250 free, 500 free, 1000 free, 5 x 200 I.M., 300 free, 2 x 200 I.M., 3 x 100 I.M., 1000 free, 500 free. Got fire alarmed out of my last 250, thankfully I usually treat bot the last 500 & last 250 as cool down sets. On the way out I DID run into the locker room to dress quickly, since the pool & locker room weren't on fire (turned out to be a false alarm) I wasn't going outside, soaking wet in nothing but a wet bathing suit in 43 degree weather.......
Couldn't get to the gym this morning due to work, but I'm going to try to get some swimming in tonight at the open family swim at our local school pool....0 -
Got to the pool & was pleasantly surprised to have a lane to myself the entire time, most times it's so crowded it's difficult to get any laps in. All free: 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 500, 250. Skipped the 1000 on the way down due to time constraints but happy because I got in way more than I expected to.....0

Sprints today. Tough work but good.
I also found out that this thursday at Masters we will be teamed up with better swimmers to work on our strokes and skills.0 -
Macstraw - good to hear you had a lane to yourself. This morning I had the ENTIRE pool to myself! Normally Wednesday's are busy, so I have no idea what was going on today. So, I spent the entire swim luxuriating in the middle lane and swam 800m back and 800m breast.0

Ashen - great workout & that's good news, it's a great way to learn....
Thanks, Panda - great swim.....0 -
Great work everyone.
Found out there's a masters event next March, so something I can work towards! And a swimathon in December when I can try and build on last year's 5k time!
Tum's still off so may not get any swims or gym sessions in this week!
Well at least the muscles and the knees are recuperating in the meantime!
Swim on people

Yeah, I had a hard time believing that. I'm still questioning if I miscounted somewhere, especially in light of today's swim.
But I was swimming next to a better swimmer in the next lane. And you know how it is. You try to race the person next to you! So, possibly.... But I do wonder.
Today was 1200 34:56, which is much more in line with my normal swims.0 -
YES: 1 mile x 33 min. + 1 x 47 min
+ 1 breath for every five stroke has help me on my time, thanks for the hint,NF1.
+ Been trying to use a kick board, it takes me 2 min to go 25 yds. Anybody got any suggestions?0 -
Yup 250 free, 500 free, 1000 free, 5 x 200 I.M., 300 free, 2 x 200 I.M., 3 x 100 I.M., 1000 free, 500 free, 250 free
Bruce - what's your body position when using the kickboard? Ideally you want to be laid out flat on the surface with the board held out over your head & your face down in the water (obviously except when you need to breathe). A lot of the people I see at my gym with kickboards have their head all the way up out of the water looking forward, holding the kickboard in close. This creates a lot more resistance & is not as efficient for moving through the water, so a length takes a lot longer..........0 -
