The Masters Swimming Thread!

I think it's called free style because there was a time where, for some races, you could choose which stroke you wanted to do and the overwhelming choice ended up being front crawl.

Hey Ladies,

Just completed my first Master's swim meet for the season. I swam two personal bests, so I am quite happy!

I swam the 50 yard butterfly, 100 yard freestyle, and the 50 yard freestyle.

Woo-hoo - off to a great start!

Good job Lynette!

I'm going to be joining the local masters club in January. I've just had too much going on this fall but in the thick of winter my schedule should be much more open.

I need to get a new suit as my old one is see-through.

Eek!

Yes, we don't want any X-rated swimming now, do we?

I did 3.7 on Monday in practice and 2.2 on my own on Wed, that's almost 6K, a record week.

I think our coach hinted at a 1K time trial on Monday. YIKES!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!

I did 1800m this morning, pushing my 2007 total past 100,000m! It was right about this time last year that I first got back into the water and discovered that I was a pretty poor swimmer. I guess I've come/swam a long way since then!

My masters coaches are trying to kill me.

We got video taped last week. Then we have a pot luck on Tues to review the video. Should be very educational.
