Thanks for the review! They seem to be a nice improvement.

2.000 yds, good swim. Not particularly fast, just a good workout. Shared the lane for half the time and had a lane to myself the other half.

im fortunate that most of the time I am Theo only one at our condo lap pool. but I honestly hate when other people are close to me not just from the turbulence but from the risk of hitting(or being hit) by another person.

I did 4000 lonely meters today(with music and I loved it)
I am going to introduce more intervals next week

1800m/1962yds today, good swim.

Found a 50m pool while traveling, a nice change. Slower pace because of fewer wall push-offs.

I prefer 50m pools because of the larger water volume and fewer waves. Short course pools can feel like swimming in a bathtub, because of choppy waves, when crowded.

The pools in south Florida are really nice especially when combined with hot tub and sauna but by late April they are no longer refreshing. It was still great to swim 50 laps daily and do resistance exercises in the water

Good swim yesterday... About 2500m. Main set was 3x100 on 1:50 then 1x300m then 2x100 on 1:50 then 1x200m then 1x100 and finally a 100m as fast as possible. I was breathing hard after that haha. Have been swimming with the next fastest lane for the past few swims and it has been a good challenge to keep up.
