Started out late this evening so only did about 35 min. Sprints, kicks w/fins, and laps.

Swam ladders tonight.

Pretty good swim today. Mixed in back kick drills, plain 'ole laps, and 16x50 sprints.

I love the lemon! It could be a dessert.

Did 3/4 of the workout created by MsJ since I had to scoot to a soccer game.

About 50 minutes today. Mainly sprint intervals.

Got a swim in today, finally! I threw in some sprint 50's and I was taken by surprise by how much I was 'sucking wind'. 5 days off really hampered my swimming.

Today will be day 5 with no swim. We have been busy with kids' sports, our 25th! wedding anniversary, and husband has evening work functions. If I don't get into the pool tomorrow, I will implode!

Yes, I have 4 children home for the summer so I will need to swim after my husband is home for the evening. I don't care for evening swims as I would rather swim on an empty/semi-empty stomach. Ah well, 1st world problems!

Last am swim for the summer. Sprints and kick work.

A quick 40ish minute swim tonight. I need to revamp my time of day swims. The kids are out of school for the summer but I dislike evening swims.... I need to figure this out asap.

Swam for an hour doing mostly sprint intervals. I mixed it up a bit and sprinted a few with fins. I am playing around with the whole food/no food befor a swim thing for me. I have reflux with certain things and today was a no eat. I am sure it affected my effort.

Swam for an hour doing a little bit of everything.

I did mine yesterday. I, too used a large plastic zipper bag to keep the workout in. Did some extra fin work too. The only thing I would change would be to eliminate the scull/catch up drills and just swim a longer warm up. I usually do a longer cool down too. I averaged 1:30 for the 100s. I don't have a watch and I…

Heading out now to do my workout. Will check back in this eve.

Swam for a bit over an hour. Warm up, kick w/fins, sprint intervals, and a hasty cool down.

Nope, sick kiddo today. Tomorrow for sure as we will be eating some authentic Mexican food with a margarita chaser!

Good swim this morning. Swam a nice long warm up, kicks with fins, and sprint intervals. My cool down could have been longer, but I needed to get going. Swam 60 minutes.

I went tonight and every time I do a night swim I tell myself 'not again'. Torrential rains kept me from hauling my 4 yr old and me out earlier. Ah well, better than never entering the pool.

It does have a pace clock and I use it for my sprint intervals, I just don't swim 100y sprints. :) What % should I be doing the 100s? Thanks!

I, too, dragged myself in this am. I didn't feel quite right and told myself that I would just do plain 'ole laps instead of my usual. Anyway, I had a great workout that included easy laps, kick sets, and sprints. Swam an hour.

My problem lately is I have not been kicking much even with sprints. For some reason my brain "forgets" to tell my legs/feet to kick. It is really very odd as I have always been more of a sprinter, even in track. Perhaps it is because I haven't swam for years? Odd...

I would like that too. I alternate between swimming sprint intervals and ladders. I swim about 6 days/week and would like to work on speed. I like everything but fly (I am too old and didn't even care for fly when I swam on a team!). I have no idea what my 100 pace is as I don't keep track.

Swam for about an hour. Mostly sprint intervals mixed with kicks. I felt off with everything, technique, speed, breathing, etc. Oh well, better than not swimming at all.

A little over 2k between ladders and sprints.

Wow, I was under the impression that Masters groups accepted all types of swimmers. Your tryout seemed tough!

60 min sprint intervals with 100s in between each set. 200 kick set

Great workout today. I was the only one in the pool too! I did some sprint intervals, fin work, and easy 100's between intervals. I was breathing hard but my recovery between sprints kind of impressed me. Meaning, I was able to recover pretty decently in 5 sec. Swam 60 min or a bit more.

I swam for ~55 minutes. I mixed it up with an easy warm up, kick with fins, some high intensity stuff, more fins and a cool down. When I was warming up my arms were begging me to get out of the water, but they loosened up nicely. Now, if I could only figure out how to sprint faster...

I have been doing this workout from Craig Keller, except I have chlorine brain and started with 25 lengths for a while...: *Do 20 freestyle lengths (25 yards) with 5 seconds of rest in between lengths. Recover with a 100-yard swim of your choice, at an easy pace. *Do 16 25-yard swims of your choice with 10 seconds of rest,…
