2000 yards. The schools and day camps are back, so less swim lanes. I feel better with knowing my arm stroke gathers resistance and feels like it's contributing more to speed than just exertion. I swam next to Walter for half of my workout, then the fast local masters swim guy did laps two lanes … Continue reading In the summer mix of it all

2000 yards. It's such a stress relief to get in the pool at lunch and swim. Walter came with me, the summer camps have started again, so kids were everywhere. I also saw Dave Lill in the shower room, he was in good shape and I should've asked him for use of the pressure sprayer. … Continue reading Another nice sunny swim
2000 yards. John had off early from school today, so I picked him up with Walter in the car and we went to the pool. He got dressed to swim, but never went in the water, saying it was too cold. I did this workout, under a very hot sun. 8 Warmup Set (400y) 2 … Continue reading New guest appearance
2000 yards. Before I trick myself into thinking I'm getting good, I have to really start kicking as a part of the workouts. So the workout delivered the requirements, kicking as part of every piece of the main set. Perfect weather, no rush, and my final day at Lake Lytal pool for a month while … Continue reading Add it in now
2000 yards. Recovery also happens in the pool! A friendly workout that allowed me to not kick but relax my legs to a light flutter was very welcomed. A very good day, water cooler than usual but easy to adjust to, it makes the drive to and from the pool easier to accept. I really … Continue reading Even the water helps
2000 yards. With iPhone out of commission for the second consecutive swim, I just did 10 x 200 yards. It was a wonderful weather day, Walter did not join me for this. My goggles need a refurb, tehy fog way too easily now.
2000 yards. 75 degrees out of the water, 80 degrees in the pool. I love getting the, "I'm not cold going in the pool" feeling. My breathing hold the air to exhale as long as possible feels more natural. I cramped in my toes trying the last 100 kick with long fins. True I had … Continue reading In good weather or in better weather.
2000 yards. This was short 75 yard blasts, 20 of them. I felt the breathing helping me balance by holding my air slightly longer. That was a good quick workout! Warmup Set (300y) 6 x 50 [25 build/25 easy] @ 0:10 rest Main Set (1500y) 20 x 75 @ 0:15 rest Warmdown Set (200y) 4 … Continue reading More of that good style and form
2000 yards. Some of the Brenton Ford tactics are working well! I control breathing now to keep air until right before I come up for a new mouthful. I use the inward pointed arms to have correct elbow positioning. And I pause to keep my gliding hand out front for a little longer. Walter came … Continue reading Something’s happening…
2000 yards Short course setup is back, Walter came along again and the weather was enviably perfect. JOhn brother in law sent a picture of the Bethpage house buried in snow and the promise that he is moving into the guest house. I felt very good swimming, trying to do the late release of air … Continue reading Two a week feels right.
