Headed to the pool. Hopefully I can get 2200 meters in.

    Good luck!

    Funny story: When I was pregnant (early stage) I decided that my exercise of choice would be to swim. I was so motivated that I spent almost an hour swimming back and forth. I felt so good! Then I tried to get out of the pool and couldn't get up the ladder because my legs were so tired! It took me a good 5 minutes of major effort to lift myself out of the water. Ha!

    Well I wasn't that tired after my workout but I did work really hard while I was there!

    I'm going tonight after work! I always shoot for a mile, but it gets difficult to keep track after a few dozen laps...

    I know!!! I have a Garmin Swim watch and I no longer have to keep track of the distance. You've got to love technology!!!

    Have a good swim tonight!

    To determine distance I just time a few laps to get a rough average and then make an estimation based on the total time I swam. It's not as accurate as a device but it's good if you don't have a device and can't bother keeping count in your head.
