This is why I don't eat anything that doesn't have a food label on it and I don't use anyone else's foods from the database in my diary - I create my own, using the information from the food label. I also pretty much "threw away" all of my measuring cups. I'm 95% food scale only now. I limit my saturated fat intake, my net…

I have a Garmin Swim watch and I love it!

Yes, it's fine to do cardio and strength training in the same day. In fact, if you didn't do them in the same day at least a couple of times a week, you wouldn't be able to get 3-4 days of strength training and 5-6 days of cardio in in the same week. However, I don't recommend doing strength training right before a cardio…

I didn't swim today but I wasn't suppose to (I'm in my two-day rest period). In fact, I'll be away from swimming for about a week because I have other things planned (hiking and stuff).

"Water jogging" and "treading water"

ooOOHHhh! I get it now! I've been pushing close to 95% if I measure by heart rate. My max heart rate 175, and yesterday I wore my HR monitor in the pool for the first time and I was getting up to 164.

Guar gum doesn't have any carbs other than 1 gram of fiber per 1/2 teaspoon. It's a good replacement for starch and flour when used as a thickening agent.

Excellent idea! Thank you!

One of the sweeteners used in Quest protein bars, isomaltooligosaccharide, is a prebiotic fiber. Just like any other fiber, you have to build up the amount you consume slowly over time to avoid mild intestinal discomfort. Quest protein bars are a fiber bomb (one bar contains almost 50% of your RDA for fiber). When I first…

I have the Waterfi iPod shuffle. I was quite startled the first time I heard music underwater that wasn't muffled. I've had it for about 6 months and have never had issues with it.

We had to do 8 x 50 sprints on :60 last night. I thought I was going to die after the first 3. It looks like the toughest part will be the sprints. Do as many sprints as you can, even if you find yourself slowing way down with the same amount of effort. When your time exceeds the 45 seconds, add 10 seconds to the on time…

I swam 2150.

Going now!

Good grief, you should see my bookmarks. I seriously need to create a sub-sub folder for youtube drills. Lol

Yesterday at swim practice, I did them the correct way and although I was faster at the push off, I kept forgetting to roll so I ended up doing one length free, one length back, one length free, one length back, etc.
-
I took a survey today of my swim team. I asked them if they do flip turns the correct way or whether they roll while they flip. They all said they roll while the flip. Interesting.

I swam 2100 yards AND did some strength training.

Awesome site! Now, does anyone know of a drill site? I need lots of drills.

I swam yesterday with my team. 2300 yards.

You might consider dedicating a swim session to flip turns only. Start your swim at mid-length so that you're far enough away from the wall to build up your speed before you reach the wall to do your turn but not so far away from the wall that you're tired out before you get there. You can also use a swim snorkel (NOT a…

The correct way is to tuck your chin down to your chest, bring your knees up towards your chest, and allow your forward momentum to propel you into a summersault. When you reach the position in which you are on your back, plant your feet on the wall, push straight back, and while you're gliding off of the wall, roll your…

Ok I gotta ask. What does "+1" mean?
