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 am glad you are finally in the water. When I was out 6 wk post op it just felt good to be in the water, even though it was 6 more weeks before I could pull with my left arm. Enjoy being able to be submerged.
Thank you! Since it's my low back, they are considered about flexion and torsion, so I may be doing a lot of kick and pull sets or making friends with a snorkel. (And some very careful test runs - sadly, open water season is pretty close to over here for most of us, or I'd go for a nice float in a lake.)
