Smart watch for swimmer?
I believe there is no accurate smartwatch to track calories burned for swimming as of 10/2024, isn't it? If there is, please let me know your experience with that smartwatch or device.

Did you swim today?
well, so? Did you swim today? Check in below... I'm watching youuuu ;P I need few more days for my neck muscles to heal up from locking up to get back in the pool, and I'm antsy. Anyhow, I thought maybe we could use a check-in thread. Tell me about if you swam, where, how, share your workout or whatever keeps you motivated…

How do you measure your swims?
I'm just curious because pre-Covid, I was keeping track of distance. I could do more/less/the same for a workout than my usual. 2.5 years later, re-entering the pool, I was very unsure about whether or not I could manage the same workout or not.

I'm back! And on a 5k challenge
Hey Y'all! You won't recognise me under this name - but I used to be 'Skinnyrev2b'. I'm afraid I fell off the waggon once again, and so started this time round with a completely new account. I'm back to the pool, and in order to really focus myself I'm doing a swimathon challenge - 5k this time round, then probably train…

Hi All - New Member 👋
Hi Swimmers! I posted in the forum about my swimming success over the last 2 months, and a sweet member of this group suggested I join. I used to enjoy recreational swimming in my teens, but stopped and never got into it again. During a group challenge in February, we had to try someone else's food and exercise - I chose…
