The rules are simple... You must get wet. Whether that is swimming in a pool, or in a lake, doing aquacise, even scuba diving, surfing, or wind surfing. It doesn't matter as long as you get wet. :) Make your own goal, time, distance etc or join me. :)

So here was October's thread - I managed 13 hrs 10 mins

And here was September's - I managed 16 hrs.
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1419421/september-get-wet-challenge/p1

I will get wet for 15 hrs in November.

    I've very excited - I got a new swimming hat (it seems to have a larger hole area so fingers crossed it will stay on better and keep my hair covered); I can't wait to get in the pool tomorrow to test it. It's one of the new posh Speedo Fastskin things. :D

    Just saw this, I'll join! I love swimming! I swam Sunday and will swim again tomorrow. I generally swim after a medium energy workout which is two or three times per week.

    I'll set a goal of 6 hours this month.

    11/02/14 - 30 minutes swimming

    No gym time today..........so tomorrow it is. I have a difficult strength training hour planned so I'll swim afterwards as a cool down!

    You guys swim a lot more than I do but I do what I can, and I love swimming!

    OOOH, sign me up! Did my second race of the ocean season today (after no training since the first race thanks to the weather). So that counts for 36 minutes...

    Not gonna set a goal, just see how I go!

    OK, I'm in:
    11/1 45 min laps
    11/3 45 min laps
    11/5 30 min laps
    11/8 3xSCUBA boat dives in water total 87 min

    Goal: Lap swimming for minimum of 45 minutesx3 days per week. Minimum of 2 SCUBA dives each month. (On days not "wet" minimum of 45 minutes walk/slow jog and some form of body weight/weight workout each day)

    Goal 1.5 hrs/week, an increase from my normal hour per week.

    11/02 - 30 min swimming laps
    11/05 - 30 min swimming laps
    11/09 - 30 min swimming laps

    It was a little tough to get that half hour in after 80 minutes of circuit/strength training this morning. I may have to schedule an extra day of swimming only to meet my goal. :D

    The rest of y'all are doing great.

    I do a little ocean swimming here in So Cal in the summer but not brave enough to do in the winter...........LOL

    Bama - jealous of your diving!! Our next open water diving'll probably be next October. Until then we go and do pool sessions to keep our skills up.

    Wow, like the every other day routine. Lowers risk of burnout

    I try to do the following:
    Monday - Swim
    Wednesday - Aquacise
    Thursday - Swim
    Friday - Aquacise
    Sunday - Aquacise.

    But sometimes things get in the way - like I won't get to the pool tomorrow night cause I'm off out with some friends. :)

    Nov 12- 30 min swimming laps

    Off to a late start this week swimming but will be in the pool tomorrow and Sat if all goes well. Yesterday I swam in a 3 lane pool with 8 people............brutal but I did it. :D

    I'm trying to figure out why so many people want to swim at 6 am all of a sudden!
