https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/10904/w00t---meeting-swimming-goalsHey guys, So I just wanted to share with you all that I set a goal to swim 50,000 yards this summer (i.e by the time class starts). It took me about two months, but yesterday I swam my last 1500 yards!!! I&#39;m so happy that I managed to meet this goal,en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/179698?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 08 Sep 2012 08:21:38 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:7f11ef99-eea9-4ffe-aa95-8ca462f3d316BoomerangGreat Job!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/179609?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 06 Sep 2012 10:51:00 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:7825c0d1-1aee-45f8-ae71-b8884fcdb5c9Former MemberThanks everyone! So what&#39;s next? :) I&#39;ve decided to join a local club team. Which is a little nerve-racking, but I hope will be a positive experience. Our first practice is tonight! I will say though that I have found that I really enjoy swimming more IM type things, so I may focus on that for now :) So how many yards were you doing per practice &amp; how many times a week did you have to swim to reach that goal? Well I started out doing like 1500 yards 4ish times a week. Then I upped each workout to about 2000 and started going 5-6 times a week. However, I was fasting for Ramadan during some of this time, and I managed to keep up with my workouts for about 2 weeks, but then I went back home and got sick while traveling. So illness plus the exhaustion that usually comes at the end of Ramadan forced me to take a break from the water for a bit. I&#39;m currently doing about 2000-2500 yards six times a week.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/179666?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 06 Sep 2012 02:30:35 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:aad196c0-ad55-47f0-bb0d-bf41b52643f2andewoot there it is High five no high ten you swam faster faster!
