    About 4000m. My counting system failed so I am not sure of exact numbers. I am hoping to get a black Friday deal on a Garmin.

    1900m. It felt like a slog to get through. My rhythm felt off and I could tell my arms were entering too wide. I was slow, too.

    50 laps. Pretty slow, but I was glad to get through it. I wasn't feeling up to going, so I just kept trying to get through each lap.

    45 slow laps yesterday. I was grateful for each one. Today is a run day. Every Thanksgiving morning, my daughter, her boy friend and I go downtown and do a loop across one bridge, run north along the river, cross at another (there are 11 bridges in Portland, so we can cut it short or extend it) and run back to the car. Then we get a coffee together and head home. Last year, it rained so hard, and then harder, and then harder, that we cut it to 3 miles. I was born and raised in Portland, OR. I am used to the rain. But this rain was hard to see through. Today it's 58F and cloudy. !! We might have to get a full 5 miles in.

    Went to the pool and did about 45 minutes perfecting (or at least trying to) my freestyle stroke. I’ll never make the Olympics :) but hope to at least be able to do a number of laps without gasping for breath LOL. Never been a great swimmer but am having fun and at least keeping active.

    Adult Swim Club 2900m it was an epic workout. My arms may yell at me tomorrow.

    200m warm-up; 50m free, pull, kick, scull

    Fly w fins - 3 x @ 10s RI:

    50m Body Dolphin
    2 x 25m One Arm Butterfly alt 3L/3R
    2 x 25m Salmon Butterfly ( arm recovery to pull position under water like a breast stroke)
    2 x 25m 3L/3R/3
    50m Fly

    100 Easy Choice

    Back - 3 x @ 10s RI:

    50m kick
    2 x 25m - 6 kick switch
    2 x 25m - 3 kick pull
    50m pullbuoy - Body roll emphasis and try to maintain straight line - don't waggle side to side
    50m Back - put it all together

    Free Pyramid 900m @ 5s RI on < 100m & 10s RI on > 100m
    25m, 50m, 75m, 100m, 125m, 150m, 125m, 100m, 75m, 50m, 25m Sprint last 2 if you can.

    200m easy Choice recommended to mix up strokes

    I had to take a little break during the Fly set, had an air pocket/air lock in one ear and water in the other one. The pressure differential causes me to get vertigo - wee nothing like getting that spinny-dizzy feeling when twisting and turning in the water. At least I know what causes it, if they are both full of water or air locked no problem, but if they split and I don't catch it then it can be a really miserable experience.

    Hi! New in the group and trying to get back in the swimming. My goal for the moment is to create a rutine, and improve endurance. I got to the pool two days this week, and did around 1000m in one hour. Hoping to shorten the stops between laps, it’s frustrating! I’m obesse (89kg, 1’58m), and no condition, I suppose that does not help.

    Welcome @ammoes ! Sounds like you are off to a great start! I am sure if you just keep at it, one lap at a time, you will see improvements in endurance and pace in no time.

    Lots of great swimming going on here!
    @emmab0902 those are awesome splits!
    @beerfoamy and @loneda I don't know how you manage those distances in roughly an hour and a half, do you swim those sets non-stop?
    @juliet3455 your workouts are always so varied and interesting.

    As for me, I have been swimming pretty regularly just not posting. I have been averaging around 3600 meters with the team, but that is a lot of freestyle so I have been trying to go on my own once a week to work on my other strokes.

    I swam that one pretty much non stop. Couple of breathers and waiting for people to pass. :) if I was properly non stop I may have been able to get 1hr34 :)
