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.

I feel relatively fortunate in this. My LA Fitness reopened on June 8. While the pool was often over 80 before it closed, it's at least bearable at around 80 now. The restriction is one person to a lane. But I often have the four-lane pool to myself.
There is supposedly a 1 person per lane restriction at Crunch as well, but no one enforces it. I circle-swam with three other swimmers (all former Y swimmers that I know) during their warm up and my cool down today so that they wouldn't have to wait for a lane to open. All but one of the lanes had 2+ swimmers by the time that I got out.
