I snagged 40 minutes before the cardio class. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my music while I swim!! I find myself more relaxed and able to get into a groove. First time ever that I hopped in and did my first 500 without being warmed up, without stopping.
Thank you, Santa!!! 2 -
Omg!!!! Ten days out of the pool equals total loss of feel for the water and fitness.
1500m of demoralisation!
500 free
300 pull
200 kick
100 free

@emmab0902 Sorry to hear that you are struggling right now. Hope you can find your groove.
Managed to sneak in an hour at the pool after work. 1200 m.
A little of this, a little of that - no real planned workout just wanted to get in the water and log some laps.
Going to get kicked pretty hard the next few days with Winter Weather. -17C and a low of -30C.

Hang in there, emma. It's so hard to feel so slapped down at something you were on top of. We're here while you make your way back. Feel free to vent.
juliet... BRRRR!!! That is tough weather! My pool closes due to weather (road conditions), and we're in another bout of it right now. It's the 3rd time this winter that we're closed. This is sort of cyclical in Portland. Most years, there isn't snow/ice. This year, these storms just keep coming. As a developmentally new swimmer (I'm probably beyond the timeline of actually calling myself a beginner!), I just keep trying to get to the pool and get water time.
Keep swimming, peeps Regardless of which hemisphere you swim on, the holidays muck with schedules and diets. Let's push through! 3 -

Did this session with one of the masters squad but she is a great endurance swimmer who hasn't slacked off in the past month so needless to say it was not fun lol.
My arms are going to hurt tomorrow!2 -
@emmab0902 50 metre pools are hard for all of us who only have 25 metre pools. Arms hurting = a good workout.
When I travel to Grande Prairie about a 3 hr drive away they have a pool that is 25m wide by 120m long.
That can be converted into 1 x 100m, 2 x 50 m or 4 x 25m and this also includes a Diving Pool with a 10 m Platform and various spring boards. The first time I jumped into a 50 m pool it was a real mental battle to complete any distances.1 -
Yep I haven't trained in a 50m pool since about 1985!1

Evening Lane Swim. They only had a Single Double lane set up and 6 swimmers - so we did the double circle.
Outbound on the outside return in the middle, fast swimmers to the right on outbound - everyone else on the left. Worked pretty darn good once everyone caught onto the concept. Its what we do in Adult Swim Club. 1200m
300m Back, 500 Front, 300 Breast and 100m Kick.
The back was broken into 25m lengths - outbound on the rope so I didn't wander into the other swimmers.
Fishgutzy still knocking out the big distances.2 -
I'm more impressed by those dedicated to serious drill work. All I do is free style laps, some kick board , some with pads and pull buoy.
I have no plans to compete. I just go, burn, and enjoy the psychologically calming effect of swimming.
Another 4 miles today. Today was one of those days when my body felt like I couldn't get past 50 laps. But I kept pushing through the wall.1 -
Finally back in the pool after a few weeks. It was rough, but felt good to get the first one back done.

After a 20 day break, finally got back in on a cold and windy evening. Great view of the moon. Felt like I'd been away for six months, though, couldn't come close to my usual distance.1
-
@nuffer - it sounds lovely if chilly. And I know the feeling about being away as I am on day 2 of being back.
2500 yards @ 50 minutes
Before I got in, I pondered upping to 3000 yards...then reality hit.

That is a good pace. getting 60 laps is a matter of pushing through the wall at 50. I have at least one day a week when that wall strikes early. Sometime even at 50 laps. I just refocus on stroke counting and push through. I end up feeling more refreshed 10 laps later
