    Inadvertently took a week off from swimming - sometimes hard to get up and out the door at 5 am to swim before work.

    900m before masters swim
    200m kick
    200m free build
    10 minute swim as much as you can - got to 385m. Goal is to get to 500m in 10 min, although I'm not really sure I'm improving, in spite of my 4 months of master swim. Bah.
    4x200m 50 kick/50 drill/100 swim - breast/free/back/free

    Total 2500m

    April total: 19,750m
    Year to date: 73,744m/45.82 miles

    200m breathing drills to 13 - started on 6 rather than 4 to make up for the 2 lengths lost

    200m with hand paddles

    50m breaststroke
    50m front crawl

    Finally got myself a new swimsuit this weekend - previous one was hanging by a thread. Coincidentally (or not), I shaved 5 seconds off my 100m freestyle. Now I kinda want to get one of those suck it all in skinsuits and see if I can go even faster! Or, much like with cycling, I could probably also lose 20 lbs and make time gains without spending $$$$

    Had to get to work early, so didn't get through the second set of kick/drill/fast/easy

    2700m

    1100m free
    3x100m free with fins
    100m kick
    200m free fast
    400m IM (50 kick/50 swim)

    100m kick
    4x50 free drill
    200m free fast
    100m free easy

    @UmmSqueaky I've got a racing suit and they do help a little. Actually I need to squeeze into mine in two weeks and I'm not optimistic. I call it compression depression - finding fat you never knew you had :disappointed:
