Dear All,
Thanksgiving swim activities of forum participants showed big determination on the part of many, big yardage, and maybe a dash of refuge seeking. Swimming over end-of-year holidays has a completely different rhythm: holiday/family obligations are greater, taking time from swimming, but there is also the wonderful, once-a-year New Year's swim, different for every coach and club.
Any big achievements over this period? Bananas? How did you manage migrating pool schedules? What is planned/did occur for New Year's swim?
Regards,
VB

Great swims!! Who did you swim for? Dynamo? Swim Atlanta?
I practice with a kids team who changes their schedule for the Christmas break so when I was able to go I got in good 2 hour practices. But, now all my family has gone home (Atlanta) so no baby sitters and my husband will be working on Monday. Which means no swimming for me on Monday :( I so wanted to end the year in the pool. But I am grateful for the multiple 2 hour practices I got in last week. On Wed I even swam for about 90 min, rinsed off and then did a spin class with my sister, brother-in-law and dad.
