January 8, 201610 yr Dang, I've slacked in making it to the pool since my IM and have considered going during today's lunch break. Then this thread is brought to the top. Must be a sign to get my lazy butt in gear.

January 8, 201610 yr Author @Wireman you still at it? Absolutely, I swim almost every day. At least 5 times a week.

January 8, 201610 yr Author Awesome to hear man. What's your yardage at? I go 1/2 mile 3-4 times a week then have one "long" swim that extends to one mile. That's my longest distance so far.
January 8, 201610 yr I go 1/2 mile 3-4 times a week then have one "long" swim that extends to one mile. That's my longest distance so far.So about 800 most days and 1650 once a week? Are you just getting in and swimming that straight?
January 8, 201610 yr Author So about 800 most days and 1650 once a week? Are you just getting in and swimming that straight? No, I take breaks. I have never really challenged myself to see how far I can go without stopping. I generally swim until I get tired, take a break, then hit it again. But I really have no training regimen so to speak. I did have a swimming instructor observe me a few weeks back and he said my stroke and breathing look pretty solid, especially for someone who has had no training. He gave me some pointers that I have been working on. Other than that, I've pretty much been on my own.
January 8, 201610 yr Just swam 2,000 yards and it sucked. I know it will come back quickly, but you can tell I am out swimming shape. My 50 times were embarrassingly slow :lol2:
February 19, 201610 yr Author I normally would never post a picture like this but I wanted to share my swimming progress:
February 19, 201610 yr Author I've gone a mile twice at this point but I can't do it without breaks yet.
February 19, 201610 yr I normally would never post a picture like this but I wanted to share my swimming progress: [ATTACH]54903[/ATTACH] Some nice improvement. Is that progression strictly from swimming or lifting as well? We have a pool at work and I'm seriously considering starting. I already run 3 days a week, but I run outside and the wear and tear is creeping up on me.
February 19, 201610 yr Man...my hat's off to you. Although I am a water enthusiast..diver, sailor, snorkel, and a sufficient swimmer, to do it for exercise is brutal to me. As soon as I get to one end of the tub, I have to turn around.
