You’d think this would be easy to remember as it’s only been a day, but I had to really think about what I swam. As I was telling someone today, often when I’m swimming my warmup is when I’m creating the warmup set. The 30 second rest gives me the time to concoct the main set. Perhaps I need to be more organized, but I don’t always know what I’m going to want to do (other than the kind of workout it will be). Some days, I have more zip; other days, not so much. I wasn’t feeling that zippy for this workout, but I swam better than I expected. Hopefully, this 50-minute swim workout will give you some inspiration. 🙂
