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:

I love this thread.
I started swimming 4 weeks ago. At that time I determined that my goal for the year is to achieve a "50% score" in something. A 50% score is when you take the WR and double it. :)
But I achieved my first 50% score today!!
Wednesday is 800m slog day.
3 weeks ago I swam 15:56.
2 weeks ago I swam 15:32.
Last week I swam 14:53.
Today I swam 14:36!!!
I got to 400m in 7:23 and I had all kinds of doubts. I thought I was going to slow down and miss my 14:40 dreamtime for today. But I sped up to 7:13 on the second half. (My 400m PR is 7:09!!!) I'm learning a lot about 800m and myself.
If I was any happier there would be two of me.
