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,

What meet are you doing in January w/ the kids? I'm debating between the USAS Stingrays meet at Mountain View Aquatic Center and a Masters meet in Charlotte (both are in January). There weren't any relays at this meet, but I hope that I get a chance to swim some in future meets! Oh, it's still humbling swimming with the kids. I got slaughtered by one of my old students (she's now 11) in the 1000 free by about 14 seconds (she went a 10:46). Those 11/12 year olds are fast aren't they?! Many don't have an ounce of body fat! :bow:
Alison, I swim at Dynamo and sometimes see your sister Jennifer at masters workouts. She's fast in swimming and an INSANELY talented triathlete. I'm so impressed you do the 2 hour workouts. They are such a challenge. I told the coach at one of our 2.5 ones that I felt a bit woozy at the end but I think my energy drink saved me from any disasters! :whiteflag:
