I haven't swum since October 11. Had my left hip replaced 13th--healing nicely, mostly painfree. My right hip (replaced in June) is completely healed and painfree. Last Tuesday, the doctor said I can go back into the pool two Mondays from now.
Allowed to hit tennis balls, but not to chase after balls hit more than 6' away.

Life is so. Beautiful.0 -
@kayak4water There was a guy in one of the running threads who had his Hip replaced and after recovery was able to start running again. Can't remember if he had both replaced or just the one.He preferred the trails over pavement/concrete as even if they were in rocky ground the overall ground effect was a softer surface which made it easier on his body.
As a friends Doctor said unless you have been walking in circles both joints have the same mileage so if one needs replacement the other one will also.
Our pool re-opened after it's maintenance cycle on October 6 and went into a limited schedule since over 50% of the lifeguards had left ( students off to college and others found new jobs ) so they had to train/certify a whole new group of LG's. The most time consuming part was they all had to have a certain amount of Deck Time with the instructor while the pool was full of people and the instructor can only have one student at a time on the deck. So it would take about 3 work days per student to get the required Deck Time x 8 LG's = 24 days of restricted pool schedule due to the limited number of Deck Qualified LG's. The instructor had to juggle her schedule to match the work schedules of the trainees and still have her own Deck Time schedule. They are down to one qualified LG instructor as one is off on maternity leave and another is now working full time as a surgical/emergency room nurse.
3 days in the pool - since lane swim times did not match my work schedule, gently easing back into it 500m, 750m and then 1000m. Just don't want to strain a shoulder as I know people who have done that.0 -

Very lucky to live where enough life guards can maintain pool hours 6 days/week. 45 minutes today. Mostly freestyle, with some one armed FS to improve breathing technique, some with a snorkel to tune up my pull (or push). Some dolphin kicks (painless, now that both hips have been replaced). Couple butterfly strokes to keep me humble. Then to the hot tub to stretch shoulders and home for a nap.

It's a great start!! I'm starting this week too. Today is my "run day" but tomorrow I will get to the pool in the afternoon and see what I've got after two years of doing other things...
Welcome!! 0 -
What a fail. And I don't use that word lightly. I worked my schedule to end my day near the pool so that I could get in the lap lane before it got too busy. It all worked out according to plan. Until... I opened my backpack in the locker room and realized that I had forgotten my suit
I used to have a spare suit and towel in my car, but I took everything out of my car with Covid since it was sitting in my driveway for months. Dangit! They refunded my money, but boy, am I out of my routine... 0 -
Oh no Girlwithcurls2! Nightmare! (I've been known to buy a suit rather than the shame of coming home again... but then, I like my suits...!)
Welcome newbies!
I've been swimming the last couple of weeks, plus restarting C25K. Apparently, whilst I counted 50 lengths (25m pool) in 40 mins, my Garmin said it was 1600m (60 lengths) = a MILE! I'll take that!0 -
I did it. Back to the pool last night. I told myself to try for 30 min or so. See how it goes. It was hard. I won't lie. But after about 30 min, I started to get into my groove, just like I always do. So I kept going and got a mile in. I don't know how long it took because I forgot to check the time when I got out. I took a lot of breaks, but I did it. And this morning, I can feel it, and it feels GOOD!
Onward... Let's make this a thing! (talking to myself here)0 -
2250y yesterday. I can tell that it's my back and upper body that are going to need to get back in shape, in spite of the bodyweight routine I have been doing for two years. However, my endurance was really good. I got my mile in and decided to keep going. I have missed swimming!
So, where is everybody? Anyone swimming?0 -
1650y yesterday before a water fitness class. I'm feeling it today. I reinstated my membership to the center so that I'll be more committed. If I don't feel like going, I just picture slapping that cash on the counter and walking out. No way. It's prepaid, I'm going 0

.5 mile yesterday. I'm either way out of practice or doing something wrong. My left arm is always more sore than my right arm. I spent some time just kicking with a board too. I forgot how hard (and slow) that is...0

@girlwithcurls2 Yes still swimming.purrmonster wrote: »New to the group and saying hello, I have just rejoined a gym with a pool and am trying to get back into it. 1000 m today in 35 mins, slow but it's a start
@purrmonster Nothing wrong with that pace.
I can remember when I could only get 5-600m in an hour.
Still swimming just not posting very much.
4-6 swims a week depending on pool schedule and work. Minimum 1000m, usually more.
The local Triathlon is not happening this year due to the collapse of the Volunteer pools during covid.
I use the 750m Sprint Distance to start my swims and then add in drills and differant strokes to build a good workout.
In September the pool will close for the month for a fairly major maintenance - rebuild - Midlife crisis. A few of the Water handling pipes have developed leaks so they need to be replaced and since they are embedded in the Cement its a major tear down and rebuild. Two of the Pillars that support the Roof Beams have rust-corrosion that requires them to be checked/replaced?. Could be a 2 month shutdown.
So hoping to get over 150km for the year.0 -
Swam @ 1 mile each day all week mostly at 48 minutes.0
