Surprise! It’s almost back to normal. Today, they announced we could swim 3/lane. Fortunately, we had the entire pool (18 lanes) and, most of us, had our own lane. As there are a variety of speeds and swim levels, once people realize they can get a slot, it’s going to...

We had the inimitable Coach Bill Bean today. I am grateful he came out to coach us on this holiday. We had a pretty full pool (about 4 people/lane). I got to swim with my friends, Abbi, Rachel, and Kristin. Such a lovely time. It was a good set, and, while all of 50s...

How can a fun day be so full of IM? I don’t know, but it was. And fun exercises I would normally do I can’t do since we’re relegated to the deep end right now. So, no dolphin dives or running, but I do have other options. You just have to be more creative, even when...
