Today's practice (age group) included swimming a total of 22 50's with a bucket tied to our waists and 50's without the bucket in between. It was a great workout that ended in doing a fast 50 all out for time. I did my best time ever in practice. So, can I could my yardage as extra for the GTD???:dunno::wiggle:
Does anyone else do this type of workout?

Our coach in high school used to make us swim with jean cut-offs, the pockets would balloon and act like parachutes, and the denim would absorb water and get heavy. It was torture, especially butterfly.
In the past I have seen belts with little mini-buckets or pockets but I've had trouble finding them now. I've actually been looking for something like that that is somewhat adjustable so I can do OW swims with a slower swimmer and still get a good workout. Anyone seen something like that?
why not just use the parachutes that they sell for swimming--they come in many sizes so you can choose the resistency that would work best for your needs.
