2000 yards. I came about 10 minutes earlier today, swam the laps and felt good about it. I tried to apply the mentality that the first 1200-1500 warm me up, then I should be able to swim forever! Or 4000m, whichever has a finish line attached! I got all cleaned up afterwards and picked up … Continue reading Finish it out strong

2000yds. I felt good going in to the second swim of the week (big stuff for me) but upon entering the water, a change. My benchmark sr. citizen lap swimmer was moving well today, I initially in a few laps caught and passed her, but once warmed up, we remained at the same pace for … Continue reading Maybe I’m not…
2000 yards. Seems like my last few swims have been mostly repetitive 75m intervals. I do them, it seems to take awhile to get to the pool, do the workout, and drive back to work in time. Long arms, good breathing. Warmup Set (300y) 3 x 100 easy-mod @ 2:20 Main Set (1400y) 18 … Continue reading More 75s?
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. When I swim alone, the LA Fitness option is a better choice. I am in and done quicker, plus I can stop and get something to eat if I want. I felt a good speed increase when my arm pull was something I concentrated on like a rythym. Here's what I did, substituting … Continue reading Closer and better solo
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 As I do more 100s and 200s, I see the rotation during the stroke, I hold my breathe til the very last minute, it's working. It helps to be swimming at LA Fitness with the new lights installed, too! Warmup Set (200y) 8 x 25 build @ 0:40 Main Set (1600y) 4 x … Continue reading It gets easier when you do it right
2000 yards. They have changed the lights at LA Fitness finally! The guys were there installing the new fixtures. I asked if they were "green" energy saving or whatever, they said no. They said the humidity and stale air in the pool area kills the ballast and electrical components in the light kits. Oh well, … Continue reading Shine under the lights.
2000 yards In LA Fitness, there are four lap lanes, dimly lit. But only one lane rope. I get there and usually don't have a problem swimming, until the older patrons come and want to wade around the pool at the far end, walking into the lane I use and trying to get themselves clear … Continue reading The weird lanes
2000 yards. I had to be timely today due to tours, there were two others swimming laps today at the LA Fitness. Warmup Set (400y) 2 x [150 easy @ 3:50, 2 x 25 drill @ 0:50] Main Set (1400y) 11 x [100 mod-hard effort @ 2:25, 25 easy effort @ 0:50] 25 non-free Warmdown … Continue reading Lots of others are onto the idea
