For me, it's now going on four weeks since my last swim. We were in Turks and Caicos March 7-14 for spring break where I was doing daily open-water swims along the beach. My last swim was a 3-miler on March 13. When we got back to the U.S., we had to go into mandated 14-day quarantine so I wasn't able to get out to go to the pool before they all closed. Who knows when I'll swim again...either open-water warming up (I live in RI), or pools opening again. I am maintaining fitness with bike rides, and a run here and there. And I know I there is other 'dry land' training I could be doing. But my concern when returning to the water is injuring myself because of doing TMTS. I'm just that kind of athlete. Raise you're hand if you think you're a candidate for a TMTS injury too.

Me too - March 13th was the last swim.
I started swimming in February 2019 after quitting running. Three days ago, in an act of desperation and craziness, I did a 400m test jog. Yesterday I did a 10min test jog. Today I did a 10min test jog. My body is in shock from not doing this for 15 months, but there was no major "injury" issues. ie No knee swelling or pain afterwards. I have no idea were this little experiment will end up, but I know this: Having to quit swimming for at least a few weeks, and possibly for a few months, really bothers me, and it might be the end of swimming for me.
