I'm going to set out to learn and become skilled at backstroke and butterfly. Also, I have set a goal to become very good at 1500 freestyle. I have only swam that distance with flip turns once.
What say you? What are your swim goals for 2020?
It's going to be interesting to see what is done with the state games that lead up to the National Senior Games next year. I'm not sure how many states will be able to hold meets in time to meet the requirement for next year. Hmm....
At this point, just getting into a pool will be exciting, no set goals for what that's going to look like this year. I've been doing a ton of walking and the legs are stronger than they've ever been so I hope, at least, my kick will be strong. :)
Oregon just cancelled their Senior Games.

Looks like most pools will be open with the newly released stagger system of alternate walls per lane so one in shallow one in deep etc. No multiple swimmers per lane. Fortunately its summer so I don't mind coming and going in my suit. Of course we would still have to go thru the office to check in. Have any of you heard anything along these lines? Teams might be able to do more in a lane by keeping swimmers of the same speed two in a lane but not random swimmers coming to a community pool.
Maybe I should put this in another thread, but if I go to a pool, and I am severely restricted in what I can do, and how I can do it, then I might just NOT go to the pool. I gotta do my thing, Man.
I think we will need a vaccine available to all of us before we can hold a meet of any size. I M O
I know I won't be participating in one until I can get a vaccine, so I'm with you!
I'm so f*****g depressed. It looks like my new sport (I started in earnest in February 2019) will the the LAST thing that gets back to normal in the post-Covid world.
