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.

I swam in a real pool today with lane ropes and a pace clock! Hopefully I will do an open water swim at the end of the week, if my appointment in Austin does not fall through.
Our YMCA is planning on opening their pools, in some configuration, beginning on June 1 - still don't know what the allowed configuration will be for Masters workouts. Probably limited to 1 or 2 people per lane. I understand that other facilities in the area are also planning some type of limited opening of pools for swim workouts.
It felt really great to get back in the water - hopefully more to come.
