I have had periods of fairly regular lap swimming. I swam in elementary, and was on the high school swim team. In HS I dove, and swam 50 free when needed.
After college, when I had the time and opportunity, I have put in one session per week, mostly in the colder months. 1 mile per session is my PB. In 2020 I experienced a shoulder impingement when I was swimming a mile per week, so took a break and since then swam off and on.
Today after two years off, I got back in the pool and it felt great. 50 meter facility at a local university, my preferred place to swim. People at universities using 50 meter pools tend to want to lap swim, and not horse around, which makes for a better experience.
I swam 650m, which felt great and I don't think I overstressed the shoulder. Plus I treated myself to a new Tyr suit and Tyr goggles!
I hope to get in the pool once per week until it is warm enough to bike.
So who swims? When? Where? How many yards? What are your goals for swimming?
