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.

Yes, seems I missed that.
I just read on SwimSwam that a team in Texas is now open with 4 swimmers per lane. I'm sure it's ok. Swim coaches know more about pool related epidemiology than actual epidemiologists at CDC.
USA Swimming has given direction on how to do that. it isn't like there are rogue coaches who are just throwing bodies in lanes. These were presented to teams on an LSC basis as a resource to work with local governing bodies to get pools open. I know when this was presented a few weeks ago, two of the states in our LSC were already swimming. Our state was opened for that, with group sizes of 10 or fewer, two weeks ago. Some local authorities were okay with that, others were not. Even a clarifying document released a week later wasn't sufficient for all. At any rate, here is what they laid out. I would guess this would be a 50M pool.
