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. Rob

    yeah i was all alone except for the 3 or 4 people who hopped in and out of the lane through my journey. Having others doing it too would prob have helped the boredom factor quite a bit. About 2k in i was bored.. about 6k in i wanted to stop, but had already invested so much time and effort i figured i might as well stick it out.
