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.

Happy Memorial Day! In my area, outdoor pools are starting to reopen. One person is allowed per lane for 45 minutes, twice per week. You get a temperature check as you enter and masks are required until you get in the pool area. They even have alternate entries into the water. They clean the pool area and bathrooms after the first group leaves and before the second group enters. The exit to the pool is separate from the entry so there is minimal contact. It was wonderful to get in a swim after such a long time. There is hope for a return to normalcy!
