06262019 – Swim

I was able to get away to go to the Open Lap Swimming at Webber Pool today. They are open from 11am-1pm for open lap swimming while kids are there for lessons. I plan on using that later in the some for some more intense swim focus. I was the only one in the small lap pool. Webber is a natural swimming pool which means they don’t use chemicals to treat the water, but it is naturally filtered. That is why the water has a green tinge to it. The bottom and sides of the pool are also a little slimy. In the water though it is clear and seems pretty clean. The problem with this pool is that has been closed a lot if there is a heavy rain or if a little kid poops or something as it takes a long time to filter out the water. They’ve been working to make it better each year.

It felt good to be in the pool and I was able to swim further. I did 3×50, 3×100, and 3×50. It felt good overall. I was definitely feeling fatigue at the end, both muscle and cardio. I also worked on switching sides for breathing as that is a big weakness of mine for swimming. I was able to make it a length using my right (weak) side and even did a few lengths where I switched back and forth!

Overall I logged 700 yards. I’m not actually sure the length so I’ll ask next time I’m there.
