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.

Thanks. I have swum at Barton Springs a few times when visiting my daughter in Austin. I usually go early in the morning before it is open and before the guards get there. I have trip planned next week and hope I can get in a couple of swims there.

Shoot me a PM and I'll give you the info on where I'm swimming if you'd like. It is a bit of a hike out of town though. But definitely worth the drive.
Normally on a weekday I see 4 boats or less while I'm swimming. Today I saw that many in the first 15 minutes, and they kept coming. Oh well, I guess chop makes for good training swims.
Has anyone else started o/w swimming? It sounds like things are starting to warm up around the country.
