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.

Sadly, I think misery will be a new normal. We will forever be even more subject to arbitrary aquatics directors/leaders opinions on safety. The three lanes at LA fitness, I have just been informed will a need space lane and only one per lane...essentially 2 people in the entire pool at any given time. I used to sometimes have to make people share...now people will have an excuse to be a selfish a-hole--covid prevention! I suspect that those that live out east will need a new hobby.
Every time I put my belt and shoes back on and am submitted to a thorough pat down in the airport, I lament the way things used to be and so it will be with this.
