To those who swim on a team and are left in despair when the season is over, do you still swim on your own during the off-season? If yes, what kind of sets do you swim?
Or do you just do nothing for one and a half months? How does this affect one's swimming performance?
I usually workout while on vacation too, but not quite as often and usually not with the same intensity. On a 2-week vacation in London, I'll usually get in about 4 team swims (-v-) 10+ in that normal period.
If you'll be anywhere near Munich, I highly recommend swimming in the Olympic pool there.
If you take a look at my blog, you'll see my breaks are few.
Same here, except for the "vacation" part. I'm bringing my suit, cap and goggles with me on my European river cruise, after Nationals. If I can't get to a pool during free time at our stops, I plan on watching the scenery go by out on the upper deck, while using my stretch cords, doing shoulder stability exercises and push ups. Otherwise, there is a small gym on board, so there is always the treadmill and bike I can use.
I miss that endorphin rush when I miss workouts, and always feel so much better afterwards, so I'll take a workout over :coffee: any day! :D
