So far I have the data for the control and one of the 3 experimental swims. I am using the 50m kick because of current disappointing performance (was kicking 50LCM in under 0:45 in 2015)

I start off good but lose momentum at about 45m. Just several years ago I was doing mid 40’s on these lcm kicks. Just takes forever to recover these days. A finis monofin was on deck, little small, but I used it for 100. It was so uncomfortable- felt like it was pulling off my toes. Had to remove it at 75m and use it as a kick board back to the wall

LCM pool set up SCY with floating bulkhead. I used the other side of it which I estimate to be, with 6” thick bulkhead, about 27 meters. I started with a set in the 12m wide area, diving from the gutter. 8 x 24m fr NB on 1:00 dive from gutter had to take a breath on the 5th so I sat one out and did another 3. 540m with shrt fins and snorkel, moderate bursts off wall and fast fr for a few strokes then recovery swim. Included head-up, fly kick fr drill, and fist drill. 270 kick snorkel (flutter and frog) Weights 3 x 20 LP (180 added) +20 pull downs (100 units) + 20 DBBP #40’s) supersetted with no rest 6 sets various shoulder things 1 set calves

500 fr warmup 10 x 25 fr board fins on 0:30 (15-17’s) 500 fr of drills and stroke with board fins earlier: weights upper body and torso day prior to earlier: 12 miles of hiking with wife SC/NC 10|5 11 miles kayaking lake Jocassee. Stopped to free-dive at area where I believe my snorkel/camera assembly was dropped. Wife was on the shoreline with parked kayak. I looked for about 30 min and couldn’t find it. Even though it was a needle - haystack thing, the snorkel was bright lime green and would be easy to see. It was forecast and water was dark, but once down there, everything came in view again. Unfortunately the pitch of the bottom was steep so anything dropped probably kept rolling down deeper. The water was about 84° and the the air was low 60’s and raining.

3.4k Used board fins and snorkel. Sun behind treeline and overcast, water about 84°F. I couldn’t find my clear goggles, used mirrored (outdoor backstroke) ones, which also needed cleaning. Stopped halfway to clean goggles and realized my snorkel disappeared. Unfortunately it had a hero6 camera with case and a custom made mount. Tried diving down but it was too dark, and at about 5 m it was difficult to even see which direction was up. Figured it wasn’t safe and just left it in the abyss. Still might return with better gear and kayak to find it. But map claims it can be to 40 ft possibly more in area, and I haven’t free dived more than maybe 30’, furthermore in clear reef water, not a lake. The blue in the map is 0-40. 6|29|19 weights upper body lactate production on airbike 4 x 0:45 work /2:15 easy + 10. ore pikes 20 min stretching
