MAN, I miss swimming when I haven't done it in a while! Today was the first day in almost two weeks-- conferences, travel, Spring break, more conferences.
Got in about 70 minutes2 -
Got my mile in right before class. 45 minutes. Had a lane to myself until a woman joined while I was at the opposite end of the pool. Didn't wait for me. Thank god I saw her before I pushed off... And the lane next to us was empty. And stayed empty.2

1 mile @ 57 minutes2

@girlwithcurls2 do you circle swim with two people in a lane, or just each take a side? Just curious how others do it and why!1
-
Two people I tend to split the lane, more than two you have to circle.1
-
@MonkeyMel21 With 2 people it's usually split the lane. Unless you have a person with control issues and insists on circle swimming even when he is the only person in the lane ( we have 1-2 of these special people ). I always try to negotiate with who ever is in the lane. Nothing worse than constantly catching up to a slower swimmer and then they start to lane block preventing you from passing.0

Unless they are my friend and I know we swim the same speed or don't mind waiting, I split the lane, which is the same as just each taking a side. Circling is for well matched people who are working together.0 -
Yesterday was another rinse-and-repeat of breathing work. 3,000 yards, 90 minutes, 559 active calories. It was also my 75th day in a row of meeting my daily active calorie goal, which is 900 active calories. I am walking five miles a day or a bit more as well to make up the additional calories.2

4000 yards @ 75 minutes
Okay this whole changing your stroke thing? Harder than you might think. My elbows like the change though and so does my breathing. It feels easier physically. Now to make it the habit and not have to be quite so mindful of it.2 -
Rinse and repeat of the last several days: breathing drills. But what happened today is that something clicked and somehow it was easier doing the same drills than the days before. It is not as easy as I think it should be yet, but it is better. 90 minutes, 4000 yards, 670 active calories.1

This. We split, but she didn't wait to make any kind of contact with me. I wear glasses, so I don't see who is at the other end of the lane. I do have commercial prescription goggles (so they're not perfect), so I can see if there is a body down there, but she should have waited until I returned and then asked to split. She's a really nice gal, I talked to her in class one day, but clearly she doesn't understand etiquette...2 -
4000 yards @ 75 minutes.2

I'm always open to learning better etiquette! I feel like I have totally just jumped in lanes several times before, when needed, with someone without making eye contact! But I don't think I've ever put anyone out or blocked anyone....I try to pay attention to what's going on. I have commercial rx goggles too and hated swimming before I got them! I've never had to circle swim, yet, but I worry about when that day comes because from what I see I swim faster than 80-90% of the others at the pools I go to.0
