It’s My Birthday and I’ll Swim if I Want To...

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?

  • 42IM - if done in a 10.5m 'pool', how much actual swimming would there be? 420IM - is that 400IM with an extra 20m of free? or should I find a pool that is 25cm (SC) or 50cm (LC) too long? 4200IM - nooooo! paaaaaain!! 42000IM - ??? Hmmmm, I turned 51 last month and took the day off from swimming, since it was Sunday (my usual one day off each week). Perhaps I should make up for it when I return to Sanibel, Florida, so I can swim a 5100 IM in this pool: 7118 :D
