https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/5492/recovery-swimsI wanted to write about something I am finding very beneficial as I work my way up the ladder to doing a 20.6 mile swim next year.

Recovery swims are just basic miracles in their own right. This goes beyond the &quot;cool down&quot; after a hard or long workout/swim. Recovery swims repair so much and in such a short amount of time. Plus, as you know, the day after a recovery swim, you feel &quot;Powerful&quot;. Amazing thing.

So glad you are using them, too!!!:applaud:<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/72100?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 06 Aug 2007 02:21:12 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:cd2257ac-78d4-45a9-9b57-9cc2ab0955c8MuppetDonna, Recovery swims are a recent treasure discovery of yours truly. I always tried to get right back in the swing of things after something long or a long meet. Wow, big mistake. I now value that recovery swim. No more :dedhorse:<div style="clear:both;"></div>
