I met a friend at the Blue Ash YMCA today for a pre-work swim at 5am. At 5am, with 6 lanes in the main building pool, all lanes were full and a couple were doubled up. In lanes 1 and 6 was a single old person with a floating belt, walking back and forth from one end of the pool to the other. I thought, "How inconsiderate. We're all doubled up and actually working out, and they're both taking up a full lane just to walk in. Could they at least share a lane?"
Anyway, a lane opened up around 5:15 and my buddy and I hopped in. We would chit chat here and there, but we swam for an hour and probably covered 60 to 70 laps. I used my paddles and a YMCA pull buoy for 30 laps, and I used my flippers and a YMCA kickboard for 20 laps. The rest were regular freestyle. My buddy is a good swimmer, so we just kept at it (versus me helping him). He may join the Y and swim a couple times each week before work. I liked this routine and wouldn't mind doing it each Wednesday.
Great morning swim. My sinus infection is in full swing and I feel miserable, but the swim as great! Eventually, the infection has to go away, right?
