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

    Monday is 50m day. Last week - about 40.0sec. Today - about 38.5sec. Precovid PR - about 36.0sec. After 4+ weeks of swimming I am at least in the same ballpark that I used to be in. You are getting there Can I just ask about the Go Pro - are you wearing on your forehead, or setting it up at the end of the pool, or what? I have a very under utilized Go Pro, and often wish I could watch myself underwater.... Hi, I just attach it to an aluminum plate and place it at the other end on the bottom. I only get a few strokes of swimming footage within quality of analytical use, but itâ€Tms enough to see whatâ€Tms going on (lately my br kick is messed up). I found either 1440 60 linear or 960 120 wide works best (hero7). For above water view, if you have a helping hand it is best to have them walk along side of pool at same pace. Now on the rare occasion I get to swim over pristine tropical reefs (increasingly rare now for many reasons) and local lakes I do have a setup I use where I attach my camera to my center mount snorkel to view the experience itself. Unfortunately, last years camera/snorkel setup is about 300â€Tm UW at bottom of lake Jocassee
