Good luck with the meet, Emma! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I swam about 1500yds in about 40 minutes. Seemed slow but I still felt refreshed when I got out so it's a win!0

4 miles last night after work. then 6000 yards this morning at 5am before work. Couldn't quite pull out the last 21 to make it 4 miles.
Pace is recovering nicely. Managed to maintain a 1:50/100 for 2000 yards last night and this morning.
Some day I'll hold that pace the full 4 miles.0 -
Pool Envy - Still in Dry Dock due to Pool Maintenance for at least another 2 weeks.
@emmab0902 Good luck and have fun at the Swim Meet.0 -
Emma, good luck! Gutzy, you are driven!
Back in the water, finally! I didn't get my laps in as planned before the fitness class, but I managed a few before they shut the lanes down. I told the guard I just needed to know if I could still float. I can. It felt soooo good. And it's so clean!! Best of all, they changed out the drinking fountain and put in a water bottle filler. Hopefully water temps will settle into the usual stuff soon. Lap pool and drinking water seemed warm. Showers felt cool. Can't wait to get back in

49 minutes, 2000 yards, 2:26/100 pace. Cool weather and two other swimmers.
@fishgutzy : those are awesome distances you're getting. I don't think I have the patience (or the time) to try that in a 25y pool.
@emmab0902 : good luck and have fun at your meet!

YES I DID!!!!!! 54 laps/ 1.5 miles mostly freestyle with a bit of kickboard and breast/back for variety.
This was my first day in the water since August 31st because of the nastiest stomach flu followed by an intestinal infection that kept me chained to a toilet for 12 days straight and even put me in the hospital one day.
I was so happy just to get wet, and even more pleased that I felt good enough to do my full 54 laps!0 -

You'll sleep well tonight 0 -
2000m of miscellaneous stuff including 8X25 sprints at the end.
Pretty boring really. Think I've got used to swimming with masters so solo swims aren't as much fun!

That's not a very good situation - a very bad way to lose a few lbs/kgs.rosebarnalice wrote: »This was my first day in the water since August 31st because of the nastiest stomach flu followed by an intestinal infection that kept me chained to a toilet for 12 days straight and even put me in the hospital one day.0 -
Yaas! 1.5 miles-(54 laps) in ~ 70 minutes or so.
Added a little mini-sprint to every other lap. I HATE sprinting. But every other lap or so, I would "drive" from about the middle of the pool to the wall on the return length. Hopefully, will start building up to be able to sprint entire lengths without whining and complaining too much, and then, who knows: eventually entire LAPS!0 -
About 1.5km in 50 mins ish. Mainky crawl but Kept it slow as not feeling so great today, so had to wait for the endorphins to kick in to help me make the time goal. I wanted to do a bit longer than Monday... So pleased enough. Quite a lot of it was boring Emma! But no way could I keep up with a masters class....
Lucky you RoseB that you can do such long distances after being so sick and pleased you are feeling better. Htimpaired - might it be that yiur technique also needs a bit of review? I was getting eg shoulder pain so i took lessons from people who specialise in helping reduce strain injuries... Has certainly helped a lot. Welcome back from China FG, and gosh what a lot of clean pools ..!0 -
Good job all. Glad you are feeling better, rosebarnalice! That sounds like a hell of an illness.
I swam about 45 minutes this morning, mixed swim, drill, kick and sprint sets. I lost count of yards because I was trying to do swimsuit math in my head. I threw away my suit this morning after swimming and was trying to figure out the cost per wearing, which I often do with my clothing. It's the theory behind when I will and will not pay more money for a certain item. So if I can find a good-fitting basic skirt or pair of pants, I'll pay more because I will wear it more and the cost per wearing is less. Specialty items I try to find on sale or second-hand because the cost per wearing will almost always be higher.
I've never done it with swimsuits before so I was trying to work it out. I couldn't in my head but did it when I got to the office. I figure a suit lasts about 6 months on average, $50 a suit, swimming three times a week. About 64 cents a swim.
In case anyone wonders, I am an accountant. 0 -
Did MsJ's workout last night before class. I floundered around a little. The gal next to me was 20-something, and clearly a swimmer for life. I made her look even faster and better (she didn't need me, but I could make a rock look fast). It took a while, but I finally started to get my groove back. Two weeks isn't that long to be away, but I still consider myself a new swimmer without much muscle memory, so I had lots of internal dialogue going on at once. It felt sooo good to be back in the water though!0

So I'm finally a member of the Y. I have been for 3 weeks today. The first week of my membership, the pool was down for maintenance. Boo! Then, a week ago today, I sprained my ankle pretty badly and have been able to do no other exercise BUT swimming this week. I love swimming, but I want more then that to kick my booty off. Ja know? But, to answer the question, I have been swimming today, will be getting in again (quick break right now) and have swum 10 other times since joining the Y. I've been meeting myself at the door, keeping active, so I haven't been in group chats. Sorry! But exercise comes first, right?

51 minutes, 2100 yards, 2:26/100 pace. PRs for 100, 200, 400 and 800. Light rain and one other swimmer in the pool for the first half hour.
I hope they don't cancel this lap swim time. 7-8 pm works perfectly for me but if we don't get at least a couple more people showing up regularly, I'm afraid they'll shut it down.
@mpeters1965 : that is pretty funny. I have never considered cost per wearing.0 -
2050m, 62 minutes, mixed strokes, 16 sprint lengths0
