I miss the feeling of getting out of the pool tired after a workout and the sense of accomplishment. But more than that i miss the 10-15 minutes at 7...

A 4/3 surfing wetsuit with a cap and boots might work. And there's the coney island ny crew who swim all winter without any wetsuits, but they are...

I'm 71 and have been out of the pool since mid-march 2020. My hypothesis is that a chlorinated pool environment with a reasonable number of people is...

I suspect most forumites would say it is hard for swimming to mean too much. If you are injured and swimming would make it worse and you swim anyway,...

Yeah, my decades on The Left Coast colours my view, perhaps. Kool-Aid is in short supply here. :)

Geography, from my experience, has a whole lot more to do with it than anything else. I was a right wing yahoo compared to my surroundings when I...

True. If I can put my slightly tongue-in-cheek comment another way, from my experience with other swimmers, I would be willing to bet that a very...

Haha, you just described me. In the top few percent in HS, despite working up to 60 horus a week and doing all my homework in other classes. Then...

I feel it is worth pondering how generalizable these comments are. My initial thought is that this is not really about swimming per se. I have taught...

Happens. I have a daughter who is a Junior National level swimmer, who has missed over half of her junior year.....right when schools are...

Being “liberal” does not categorize someone to the left, and being a swimmer doesn’t mean they won’t do something stupid

He has (my neighbor, I'll be at 67Queen's hospital if I win the lottery). No one has a clue. He has tried his primary care physician, the UT...

I was lucky to get scheduled when I did. In Texas there is no central registry. My wife and I had registered with the county registry; but I heard...

It makes you feel like the end is near. I had zero side effects from the first dose. I read an article that said the official data for the Moderna...

:applaud: Stoked for you on the vaccine ... and similarly hopeful on pools opening here.

I just got my first shot this morning and next one scheduled for in 4 weeks. Now, if we can just get the pools here open.

So the vaccine rollout is going, frankly, horribly. Only 50% of doses delivered have been administered. Only 4.1% of the population has had even 1...

The pro meets are very small compared to what a "local" meet would bring in but, it is an idea that could be a working edition of something that we...

Another quote from the article about the difficulty that top tier athletes can have after retirement: “To find something else that is that...

There is a story today in the Guardian about Klete. Apparently he has had some rough times following his swimming career- including living in his...

I thought swimming was a "liberal sport". (Too much?)

I hope I don't annoy people if I record new PRs in this thread. It's all about 2021 goal chasing, eh? I'm at 1:18.5 for 100m now. I need to eat...

If you look at what USA Swimming is doing with some of their big meets (e.g., Pro Swim Series going on right now), that could work for Nationals -...
