Did you swim today?

1200m Lane swim - 1 Double lane 5 swimmers - at least it was all the regulars so everyone is aware of other swimmers and played nicely when it came to sharing the space.
The other Dble lane was being used by the Swim Club as they have their swim meet this weekend so the final tune up.
With so many people all you can really do is swim - hard to do any drills with out severly impacting others so 1000m Free and 200m Back mixed in when ever I noticed someone doing a backstroke in front/behind me.1 -
Yea! Joined the NY resoluters (well, sort of) by hopping back in for the first time since October. My Dad was suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumour and so I was in and out of the family home during the week which left me no mental space or work/life time for me. Sadly for us (not for him - he didn't want to lose his dignity and linger, plus he was a great man of God), he died on NYE. Funeral isn't for another couple of weeks, but I'm feeling more like my old self now the worst has happened and I'm somewhat back in control. So *only* 30 mins, and purposefully didn't count laps or even push for FC, just did what felt good. Back to the yoga too, speaking of feeling good. Man I love downward dog pose!3

@skinnyrev2b Losing a loved one is always hard at any time of year, especially a parent.
Glad you are able to get some lengths in the pool and enjoy them.0 -
6km
No lanes despite website saying there would be and lifeguards saying there would be.
Much much busier than previous weeks and noone with any awareness of the fact that I was clearly going up and down the wall repeatedly. They just swam at me!!
Argh
Not relaxing but I earned my surf and turf later
I feel your pain. I am really enjoying my time at home now with an entire lane to myself 95% of the time.1 -
5 miles today.
First set was a fast (for me) 2 miles at 1:05:54 and a 1:51/100yd pace.
Saved the drill sets for the last 2000yds.0 -
Double dip today.
First swim got to the pool and had forgotten my goggles so ended up a 3000m kick session. Thankfully I had fins!
Second swim with masters except it was only me so had a 1 to 1 session with the coach. 2700m including a nasty set of back end work with only 20s rest so was basically a lactate set.3 -
1 mile
arm started hurting so I laid off instead of pushing to 2.5km. Growth!1 -
Yup, swam. Not nearly so long, fast or varied as you amazing guys, but proud to be there regardless.2
-
Yes. 4 laps. You read that right. Four
Hey, it was my lifting day, and then the water cardio class. I had 4 minutes to kill, so I jumped in to get started on warming up... Back for more laps today, I promise.3 -
3 miles in the morning.
Another 2000 yards doing drills with my wife in the afternoon. A wonderful day.0 -
@skinnyrev2b Some days we have lots of variety and drills - other days we just paddle back and forth. Feel free to copy any of the sets we post and try them out.
My pool actually has a Drill set holder on the wall with Laminated sheets showing drills ( arm-body positions ) and a list of drills with 3-4 versions depending on a swimmers experience.
So I can grab a laminated sheet out of the bin - splash some water on a kick board and stick it to the kick board and leave it sitting at the end of my lane.2 -

I made it. 2500y and then the water cardio class. I thought I had a meeting after work today, so I left my swim stuff at home. Meeting is actually next week. Ugh. I think there's time to get home and grab my stuff. It won't be as long a swim before class, but my goal is to get something (hence the 4 lap day on Tuesday!!)3
