So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:
It felt great to just swim. I didn't look at the clock once. 600s, 300k, 600p. I'm sure they were garbage yards by anybody's definition, but it felt great to just swim.
Hey Skip, whatever makes you feel good; do it! One of my favorite swimming days is the day after a meet, where I allow myself to do whatever I want to do, however I want to do it, and, as fast (or slow) as I want to do it. Sometimes, I'm still wired up (and tapered) from the meet and I put in some fast sprint times. And, after other meets, I'm too sore and tired to do anything more than swim slowwww. But, that's the beauty of Masters Swimming! We have control over how we swim and make our own decisions; not a coach or anyone else. :applaud:
