Holiday Swim Achievements, 12-24-07 to 1-6-08

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

  • My team is doing a 100x100's on Sat Jan 5. They do it, or something like that, every year early in the new year. I've never done it before, but am thinking of doing it this next time. Some people were asking the coach how long it would take, and he was answering with vague terms. I asked, "How long would someone in my lane take?" He told me about 2-1/2 hours. Evidently they do different intervals, like 10 on 1:40, 10 on 1:30, 10 on 1:20, then going back again.
