Unfortunately I swim on my own. We don't have a competitive master program in Sioux City and no one I swim with can push me. You guys are now my coach. I want to thank Jeff for recommending a place to swim while I'm in DC. I got in some yardage and felt great. I did a broken 500 for the first time and thought it was a great set.
