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.

Good luck ... maybe you can swim in Big Pool, Maryland - www.riverexplorer.com/details.php swam in Shawnee Lake, near Bedford PA - opnce going and once coming back.. The water was wet and it was extremely gratifying. **** I meant to stop in Hancock, MD and find out about swimming holes in the Potomac, but was pushed for time. I've Ridden my bike on the C&O trail from Pgh to DC. It's good to know Big Pool has swimming. Most of the C&O that still has water in it is not suitable. I'll be sure to give it a shot sometime.
