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.

...Now that my pools are open again, I'm swimming there. But they still have the silly rule of the hour limit. Yes, even if I'm the only person in the pool and not another soul is in sight, I still need to get out at an hour (and the lifeguards seem to enjoy telling me about it). I've done a work around a few times, swimming an hour at one pool then driving to another pool (same community, same pass) and swimming for another hour there. The lifeguards think it is hilarious when they see me at pool #2, as there is usually one who starts at pool #1 and moves (today I saw one at pool #1 then he must have followed me, after I did an 800 at #2 I saw him on deck)You gotta love when bureaucracy trumps common sense!:bitching:
