Well thanks to geochuck, islandsox, The Fortress, and otherswww.usms.org/.../smooch.gif
:smooch:, I've decided to get back into the pool (I've been out for almost five or six years). I'm going to go about 1500, including the 400w/u and 200 w/d. I'm also going to try to get in the weight room (I want to look like (S)he Man but the male version). I want to compete in one local meet and our state Master's meet. I looked up the times from our state meet last year and there are some very fast 50yr. olds (scary fast).
So, thanks for your inspiration on this is a really cool forum. I'm going to try??... to shy away from too many tips (coaching habit) and try to soak in more of the philosophical, spiritual, and other good stuff a lot of people give. I'm also going to practice a bit of what I preach.
Thanks, and Happy New Year, Coach T.

Coach T,
:banana:This is awesome news; I am just thrilled that you are going to enter the deep end again. There is something so magical about being in water, let alone the physical benefits from it and the friendships that can be gained. And you know as a coach, the rewards when accomplishments are made. I have been out of the water for about 2 months now and have to start back in about 2 weeks and I know to expect little in the beginning. But I don't care because conditioning will happen with consistency. The journey of bettering oneself is a reward in itself. Now that I am older, the journey toward fitness is one I really do enjoy making, and now I have the patience to let it happen when it happens.
So, do you have a favorite stroke?
