https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/11288/new-job-new-schedule-not-much-time-to-swim--alternativesJust started a new job and need to readjust my times/places for swim workouts. During this transition period, what can I do to help stay in swimming shape? Running doesn&#39;t seem to help at all. I can go to the gym, do yoga, pilates, etc. Advice appreciateden-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/185169?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:30:05 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2ba678d2-dc68-49ae-b4ef-09de02bf3192Former MemberI&#39;d totally disagree that running wouldn&#39;t help. It&#39;s great for aerobic conditioning, helps keep weight down (if that&#39;s needed) and is the most flexible and easy way of getting exercise into a busy schedule. I wouldn&#39;t say that it will prepare you, on its own, for racing, but for general fitness it will do a lot to keep you ticking over.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/185158?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 04 Apr 2013 05:13:18 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:8565977a-b232-4aef-8a26-0264dd94b7a4AtlanticDefinitely include yoga during this time! It will keep your body flexible. Good luck until you get back into your swim groove!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
