When we return to swimming.

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. Dan

  • So, for the next few weeks I'll see lake AND pool swimming. Great news! Hope you enjoy! From what I've heard, the pools on the US military bases have been open much of this time. They aren't subject to state/local restrictions. When I was in the US Army, for the last 1-1/2 year, I was stationed at Ft Lewis, WA. I had a gym w/pool about a 10 min walk from my barracks, even less if I drove. I went a few times a week. They worked it out so that one of the base pools was open almost all the time (including during the night and weekends). If I remember correctly, there were 4 pools on base.
