Glad I could help in some way! : ) GL

I would think it would work well, maybe add a little something to firm it up. I'm vegan, so I always make pudding w/o "real" milk. I usually use soy milk, though, so I can't vouch for results with Almond. Good luck! : )

Also, are there other lanes open when this happens? Because I can't see someone being offended if you recommended they'd be happier in a certain lane where people are swimming more similarly to them and you explained the two people in your lane were doing drills and timed sets and really needed a whole half a lane each.…

Is there any designation for the speed of certain lanes? Maybe you could recommend this to the pool? I feel like the pools I used to swim at had this. I'm totally avoiding that situation until I'm back in better shape for that reason specifically--I don't want to be anyone's bummer. I swim at LA Fitness right now, where…

I was also going to recommend a protein shake in the morning. Or you could add silken tofu--the least firm kind. My favorite breakfast is nearly plain oatmeal and peanut butter on toast or a plain rice cake. Since you want to add calories you could also add agave to your oatmeal--it is metabolized differently from other…

That seems very discriminatory. How do they justify this? Living a vegan lifestyle is one of the most important things in my life, as I started it not for the health benefits but because I believe it is morally wrong to harm animals. Also, what about someone who is vegan as part of their religion? I'm very curious about…

Yes, I love team workouts, too. That's my ultimate goal, but I have to get back in shape first, which is what these workouts seem to be really good for. If I tried a team workout right now I think I would probably pass out and get super discouraged.

Glad it works for you! If you want to add me to your team, I'm here : http://paceclub.speedousa.com/swim_team/users/28541

As others mentioned: Speedo Endurance fabric holds up longer. Other brands have similar fabrics, too. Any polyester suit, as opposed to lycra/spandex, is the kind that will last longer. I like the feel of the fabric better also. I just got some for the first time because some other Speedos I had disintegrated after only a…

Awesome--sounds good! A link to my Pace Club page is on my profile! : )

Awesome! You can actually log any kind of workout in the site as long as you know the distance. I'll look forward to seeing you on there whenever you're ready! I like the "high fives" aspect because I miss the camaraderie of a team.

Has anyone tried the Speedo Pace Club workouts? There are 4 levels to start with: Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and also some technique workouts. There are also videos from Olympic athletes and coaches demonstrating the drills. I'm on my fourth workout in the Intermediate level, and I really think…
