Swim Wisdom is a thread dedicated to the little bits of wisdom we accumulate in swimming. It's not about swimming faster it's about living better & smarter. share Practical stuff Like:
I've noticed my Teva Mush flip flops smell awful when they are slightly wet & I leave them in my car. So I leave them outside my car on the window under my windshield wiper blades, they dry faster, don't stink up my car & so far they haven't been stolen. Done this with towels & suits too
dry rubber tech suits inside out
keep your goggles inside a case when you're not using them & they won't get as scratched up
please share what works for you

If you are a solo swimmer like me, you need to hit the pool with a pre-planned workout and keep track of the results. I picked up a dive slate for less than $10 at www.scuba.com . I use toothpaste (paste; not gel), followed by a damp paper towel to clean it off after I have logged my workout in my F.L.O.G.
Lots of people write their workout down before going to the pool then put it in a Ziploc bag at the end of their lane. Another technique is to forget the ziploc and just dip the sheet of paper in the water and stick it to something like a kickboard, If you write with pencil you don't have to worry about the writing smearing or running.
