Anybody hit any best times in practice coming back from quarantine?
I'm reading all these SwimSwam articles about already fast kids and pros hitting lifetime best times after a month or a few weeks back in the water. I know the club team my Masters group is attached to is doing some good things in practice - they're thinking about having an intrasquad meet in a bit.
I'm not even close right now, still trying to get my feel back!

Kids and pros are different beasts. For the kids, especially the young boys/men, they're growing and growing muscle even when they're not training. For the pros, I imagine that most of them kept up a very rigorous training regimen (moreso than most of us mere mortals) that kept them close to top physical form even when they couldn't be in the water.
Ha! I know this full well... I stayed in pretty good shape over the break since I have a pretty well stocked home gym, but between working from home and parenting a now 8 month old I probably only got about half an hour to 45 minutes workout a day. I thought I saw that Great Britain Swimming bought some of their national team people Endless Pools to train in.
It's still amazing to me to see already really fast people going best times, especially in long course that takes a bit more water-specific fitness.
