Catch a wave...Or the swimming thread

[jesvetmed]

For dips we faced the pool wall at the deep end, and without pushing off the bottom pressed up to straight arms on the pool deck, and dipped back down into the water (as if you are getting out of the pool. OK.. I admit it, had to use my feet a bit! They are tough.

Question to all the swimmers...

Do you ever have swim sessions that are way off your regular times???

I missed a couple swim sessions a couple weeks ago because school has been busy... and my run mileage increased a little (although still only around 25 mi/week). Ive been taking one rest day a week, and Im still off my regular swim times.. having a very hard time making regular intervals.

Anyone experience something similar?

Of course! The increase in running could be a factor. Sometimes some workouts will just be off.

my swim times are outrageously different, always, could be the day's nutrition, other activities, sleep, all. Today I did 10 x 100 with pull bouy on the 1:40, yesterday on the 1:50...no explanation, and my pool times have NOTHING to do with my tri times...I stopped keeping a record
