I've been working out with the age group/high school team in the mornings. I'm off this week so I didn't have to leave practice early to go to work. Went 5000 yards--the last time I did that Jimmy Carter was in the White House. Overall felt pretty good. Swam some fly, went 6:05 for a 500 free at the end of a distance set. Disclaimer--it took me two years to work up to this.

Here's where being a neophyte pays off! I figure actually going to the pool earns a beer. (Old reward of just thinking about going has been replaced with beer rewarded for 25 fly.) Making into the water earns a second. I then go in increments of 500 (except for the aforementioned fly). I've only had a couple of practices where I didn't make 1,000 and I almost always manage at least 50 fly.
I also allow credits to carry over. As I rarely have more than one beer on weeknights, I've managed to build up a months worth of credits!!
Fly = 2 for 1 if the beers are lagers or pilsners, only 1.5 for 1 for ales, and 1.25 for 1 for stouts.
Looks like more opportunity for rounding as I hate to leave open bottles but do like ales & stouts!! :D
