Hello Fellow Masters Swimmers,
About 26 of us did this swim this past Wednesday and I must say it was rather fun and a nice sense of accomplishment. The workout was perfect for such a distance and mixed up kicking sets with those longer sets (4 by 300s etc.) so that we were able to crank out the laps without much monotony.
I have been back in the pool for about 13 months and am 49 and was surprised at how good it felt. Our lane finished in a bit over 3 hours. The last set was for 6 50s and we had a guy who did not swim competitively growing up lead the lane. He was tired but I was really proud of him.
So, what has everyone else's experience been with this swim? Just curious.

6 x 100 - kick - 2 fly, 2 back. 2 free
1 x 400 pull - buoy no paddles - negative split
4 x 300 - swim - #1 do middle 100 back. #2 do middle 100 ***, #3 and 4 all free.
