Did you go swim with
the new team?

[al320]

I did! Thanks for asking

So it was a small group, all much older men, and there was one girl, so i stuck with her lol she said it was her 3rd time there and she hears its a bigger group when its not the summer (though this gym is only about a year old). She warned me everyone splits lanes, so imtold her i hate that, so we swam together and circle swam yay! It wasnt much of a team, so much as each lane was swimming independently and the coach (who was about 12, but really nice. Ok maybe he was 25 maybe,) just instructed everyone as they finished each set. The work out was really good.

Meanwhile, he told us to do 100s on 1:35 and im like, uh, thats fast. So he said do one and we will reassess, so i did, camr in at like 1:15 and was so confused bc thats wayyyy faster than i swim. Yeah, um. This pool is 25 yards. I swim in a 25 meter pool. Oopsie.

So im going to go back. I went to my other team today and it was fine, but its good to have a backup for when i need a break from them, and just different scenery.

When do you start with your new team?

Excellent! I signed up for a free trial and I start Monday! I've actually seen these people swim when I did workouts with my tri team. They are fast! But I want to get faster so I need them! I'll let you know how it goes next week.

Plus, I'm still jealous of that amazing outdoor pool you swim in!

My new indoor one is even nicer if you can believe it lol 8 lanes, salt instead of chlorine, theres a hot tub! And its NOT lifetime fitness lol

Yay for getting faster! Let me know how it goes, im sure itll be great!
