As part of the the USMS Fitness Committee's ongoing efforts to encourage new and exciting forms of fitness, we'd like to get a feel for what you do for fun in the pool.
Today's topic:
“It’s My Birthday and I’ll Swim if I Want to”
Many swimmers do special things for a birthday swim such as swimming their age number of 50’s or 100’s. Some may be even more creative! What do you do?
We do birthday age x some distance, like 60 x 50 for my hubby's recent birthday, broken up into 6 x (10 x 50) so we did 25 drill/25 swim for warmup, then 50's kick, a set pull, a set with 50 IM's (try it!), and played with descending and going fast on the last 20. Then breakfast out with as many of the team that can make it, where humorous cards and trash talk is encouraged. It's really fun!
