Small Pool Swimming

Forgot that the pool closes early on the weekend.  Plus, there was a swim meet and they clean the pool after, so I was relegated to the small pool.  Can't say I was sad about swimming in warmer water.


Tricky to swim laps in a pool full of people randomly puttering around.  Also tricky to swim under a rope about a stroke and a half into each lap.  I took it as an opportunity to work on my sighting.  Also, because I felt comfortable in the water, and probably due to the paddle drills I did last week, I noticed a few changes in my hand position when beginning the pull and felt like I was getting more out of each stroke than previously.

I did 3x200, 3x100 and 3x50... or at least I thought I did.  Turns out I only did 2x100... whoops.

Don't get too excited.  These times are for a 20y pool.
