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?
My birthday falls in the week following our state meet, where I plan to do the 400 IM and 1650 as focus events. So after some recovery and since I won't have to worry about upcoming meets for a while after that I was briefly considering that 4300 IM for my 43rd. Sort of an odd distance which would require keeping track of 1075 of everything... I just don't think my fly is going to be ready by that point; so maybe 10 x 400 IM followed by a 300 IM.
