2000 yds. Today was plain and simple. I did all my yardage freestyle, no rush, but felt like I was side to side more correct than before. I didn't bother with flip turns, just swam leisurely to get better form. The air was 78 degrees. The pool water was 78 degrees. It all matched up! … Continue reading It all matches up.

My aquatic endeavors explained…
2000 yds. Today was a windy and rainy forecast, I didn't feel like going in the pool, but I was so close (I was already doing other things in that neighborhood) I had to. As usual, opting for exercise vs. nothing was a good choice. I did all freestyle, some of the laps felt nice … Continue reading Swim in the rain? YES!
2000 metres. I try to come to the Cook Aquatic Centre each time I visit Sydney, it is directly in the middle of the city and popular among the locals. I got there right when they opened at 6am, easy to do when the time difference nonsense had me up at 2:10am. I was able … Continue reading Sydney swimming!
2000 yds. I swam again today, I started earlier and had less time, I had to get back to a 1:30 meeting and I got caught up in the office. I did straight freestyle today again, even though I did no flip turns, I finished in about 43 minutes. Back to yesterday's theme - I … Continue reading One Day’s Difference.
2000 yds. I read a post on Facebook - something about , "What do you think about while you're swimming?" I imagine I cover a good span of material. I can say most of it isn't work related, even though I'm sandwiching my swims in between work am & work pm. It does melt away … Continue reading What am I thinking?
2000 yds I have to get away from just slogging freestyle in my unorthodox fashion. I have succeeded in teaching myself the wrong way to swim, now I just have to keep it up. Practice makes permanent! Today I did my version of some drills. First I swam 500 yards freestyle. It was 74 degrees … Continue reading Not generic anymore.
2000 yds. I was planning on a lunch today, and swim tomorrow. When the lunch idea folded, I moved the swim workout up a day. Today the pool was cooler than yesterday, or maybe the overcast 81 degrees weather with a breeze made it feel cooler. There were maybe 12 other swimmers, which always means … Continue reading Swim by accident?
2000 yds. Today was my first swim of the year. I was concerned about the water being possibly cold after the two weeks of 30 temps, but the Lake Lytal pool was a comfortable 80 degrees. Nice! I did a slow and easy 2000 yards. I started out too fast, really churning for 150 yards. … Continue reading Return to the Pool
