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.

Do they have a reservation system in place?
They don't. There were 3 of us there for the 5:30am start. I asked a lifeguard if the max time was an hour or if that was only if there are people waiting. She said only if people are waiting.
I had just finished a 400 pull, was going to do 300-200-100 to finish off my set, when the other lifeguard poked me with the rescue tube. She told me that the other gave me incorrect info and I could only stay for an hour. I asked if I could do 100 w/d, and she said that was fine.
When I got out there were 2 swimmers in the 8-lane pool.
I'm fine with an hour, if that's the limit. I'm curious if I could go to the other pool for another hour? Or go back later in the day... After swimming in the lake for about 2 hours a pop, I got used to long swims.
