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:
Actually, I didn't buy it for training; I bought it for racing at local meets! But, it felt too large for racing; more like the 36 I usually wear for training. When I first tried it on, it felt larger than a size 36 Speedo Endurance. So, I put it to use as a training suit, instead.
I never train in tight suits; my shoulders can't stand it! If anything, I train in suits too large, because of my shoulder issues.
Elaine, I can't help but remember your story about your Endurance suit literally coming apart at the seams. Were there any warning signs? I've taken to looking at my seams before every swim -- some of them seem potentially suspect -- but the suit keeps holding on. Am I just tempting fate?
