I was thinking about doing the one hour postal in Jan. I have never done one before, so I printed out the information and had a couple questions.
It says that the rules are govern by 2008 USMS Long distance rules, drafting, flotation, and propulsive devices are permitted. (pull buoys, fins, paddles, wet suits, etc.)
My question is can you wear a watch and can you listen to a waterproof MP3 player while doing the swim?
Also is it best to swim this separate from practice, or does it matter? I swim with age groupers and not sure if during this practice time would be the best time. I really don' t think I want to
swim at our 'Y" because the water is always warm and the pool is a slow pool.
Skip's right. You can get out and sit on the deck for 45 minutes if you want. Probably won't help your distance much, but if that's what you want to do :)
Some people definitely break the swim up. If you think you could do better by doing 100 yard repeats with rest in between, go for it.
