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:

If you do kick sets, I'd suggest not using a kick board. Use paddles out in front of you for a bit of support/balance that doesn't flex your back or put pressure on your shoulders. Use a snorkel.
Fly, thank you for the advice. I did a little bit of kick set today, with the board, but I will give paddles and a snorkel a try next time.
For my first time swimmimg in 3 weeks, and being restricted to freestyle, my endurance is surprisingly ok and 1000m total felt just right for a start. At least now I'm forced to work on my freestyle. 😁
