When we return to swimming.

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. Dan

    A small ray of sunshine: The CDC today issued a statement about pools and water sports having a zero chance of infection, provided the chlorine is kept up to date. Perhaps cooler heads will prevail about opening pools again. Zero chance of infection from the water itself (oral/nasal/ingestion/orbital?) or zero chance of infection between athletes as long as they are in a diluted chlorine soup? Iâ€Tmll believe the former. The latter seems a rather absolute statement. Iâ€Tmll keep my eyes open. Our daughterâ€Tms club water polo team isnâ€Tmt expecting to get back in the water until July. And thatâ€Tms not a certainty. Admittedly, water polo presents a more direct route of transmission than competitive swimming.
