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:

Thanks!! I have to confess that I'm slowly getting into flipturns, and I do them on cooldown / drills, not my swim-proper. This could take a while!! :)
You are welcome and don't worry: there is no rush with flip turns. Going slow is a really good way to go about it. Confidence in them is essential to getting faster with them. Plus, this is Masters swimming. :) We get to do it at our own pace and that is half the battle to doing it right and having fun while doing it. At least that is the way I'm going about it now. When I started swimming last fall after decades away one of the first things I did was study the flip turn again. The Race Club videos are really helpful to me & the "race club flip turn" is basically what I'm doing now. (Their flip turn videos are on Youtube.)
