Went to the Los Angeles Swim Stadium today. The Swim Stadium was constructed for the 1932 Olympic swimming, diving, and water polo events.
I swam 5,000 meters. 1,000 meters for each of the Olympic rings.
It was a very nice day for swimming in an outdoor pool. The sun was out, the water was perfect. Originally I was only going to swim a 4,200, since I felt good I decided on the 5,000.
My second contribution to the spirit of the Olympics this year. It was nice that I could do this in a pool that was actually used for the Olympics, is still in use, and is available for public use.
Another “FUN” Olympic workout is to swim the Olympic program. The following Men’s Finals only workout is 5,350M. If you want to swim the entire pool program of heats, quals, semis and finals then it’s 12,150. Feel free to add in the 10K for a full day of swimming.
