Anyone here swim as part of their workout routine? My pool is finally dialed in and just about ready for use, and I'd like to start getting some laps in first thing in the morning. I haven't really swam for anything but fun, and even then not since probably high school.
My pool is decently big, probably 35' long, and it's 9-10' deep at the deep end.
So my question is where should I be looking to start, lap-wise? Just go by feel? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thx!

James

1,000 laps sounds totally doable!

at 10m per lap, you could just probably flip twice per lap without strokes

Hell yes I do! Well, I do now, at the place I just moved into. It's rad. My garage kicks ass. Pics to come.

Where'd you hear that? I'm not 100% sure, he's been on the road for a month plus, so I haven't seen him in forever. He sits 4 feet from me when he's here though, I'll see what I can dig up. You interested?

Possibly...

I think he's "dating" a friend of mine. Or dated. Or she's just got a huge crush on him.

I would swin if I had the opportunity. Is such a great low impact training and I have no upper body.

That's weak.

10,000 in 2 days... That's a reasonable workout. 15,000 would be solid.

Tell that to my shoulders.
