I'm questioning the concept of opening up the group from 55-64 when almost everyone I know in the 1b 65+ group can't even get an appt!!!

Yeah, I have tried different designs/brands/styles of men's suits too. Nothing quite seems to float my goat. Not to say that I won't wear them...

Yeah, this is what I was sort of thinking... I have a member of the USMS board on my team actually and I know she's looking into things. From what I...

Do you have access to the event result database on this site? Most every USMS swim recorded should be in there.

I would guess there are three men right now who could do that: Gregorio Paltrinieri, Florian Wellbrock and Mykalo Romanchuk. The former is the world...

Make your main set a "broken mile" as 3 rounds of 3 x 50 2 x 100 1 x 150 I go these on 0:45, 1:25, 2:05 and, when in really good shape,...

I'm looking at pace per 50m (SC) for WR 400m-800m-1500m, and I'm assuming, based on how the paces change, that 3000m could be at 29.0sec per 50m or...

Yeah, most Masters swimmers that compete on a regular basis swim all manner of events.

Yeah, sorry - I clicked on a couple of 30min names, and saw some sprint results, amongst distance results also. Fun sprints? :)

Not really, most of the guys I see on there are distance guys or at least mid-distance stroke types. Don't see any names that I recognize that are...

Thanks! I notice a couple of 30min times there, which might be 33ish for meters? And these people are sprinter types.

No, there's no world record for the 3000m. Best you're probably going to get is the records for the 3000y Postal event USMS has. ...

I hope I'm not being annoying if I post a monthly progress report to this thread. I want to state that I know I'm a lucky SOB with pool...

Sounds like your Y is using the same procedure as the one I go to here in RI. We use the Daxko app on our phone for reservations. However, this Y...

Like others have mentioned, with the advent of 30- or 45-min reservations, my cool-down is my walk home.

Back before 2010, it was pretty lassiez-faire. Ian Thorpe famously wore a suit that covered everything from his ankles to his wrists in the early...

If I had this limitation, I'd do USRPT most days, and then LSD one or two days a week. Get in as much as I could...

I'm happy that I managed to get 151 miles of swimming in during my deployment to Djibouti. Not bad for me, considering the pool here is limited to 30...

Ahh okay... What did the rules look like back then?

1) Swim in a meet for the first time since Spring 2019. 2) Not embarrass myself doing #1. 3) Get back in the same condition I was in pre-pandemic....
