2.5 Ocean today in 1 hour

pool.

no ocean here anyway there is snow

i'm annoyed because some childrens seem to swim faster than me (even if i'm pretty fast)

nevermind i checked and one of them is champion of the region...

My local pool is full of seniors. Lots of them are Dutch women, who seem to enjoy staying fit for their entire lifespan. There are a pair of 60-ish women who regularly lap me. And one old beer-belly guy who passes me with a floatie between his legs.

The kids I don't mind so much because they're ... kids. :) Just like the little jerks who skate circles around me at the ice rink :)

Swam with hot Ozzie girl today. Very motivational. 2.5km Ocean swim today in 58 minutes, going for nap now.

I have been lazy these last days, who is still swimming?

Love swimming. Every chance I get. For fun, in the Pacific.

love swimming, but its been 2-3 years....
thinking about getting pool built by house.

Swimming is for amateurs.

Here in Niagara Falls our watersports are more extreme. :winkwink:

Love swimming and have been getting back into the pool lately. I usually go for a 1/2 mile. It can get so addicting. I do have to mix it up though and use swim fins, floaty between legs, hand paddles, etc...

Definitely. I was the only one strong enough on my high school team to pull off the butterfly. For the life of me I still don't know how people do that stroke gracefully.

btw how many time do you need to swim 50 m (your maximum speed)

I loved swimming back when I had the opportunity to go every day. I was a life guard for a while. Thought it would be much better than it actually was though. Turned out to be boring as hell, especially when I worked in the city and people who couldn't swim jumped in the deep end.

I have been such a lazy fucker, swimming once a week now.

if i go once a week i'm happy, wish i would swim more but time is the problem

I hear that, funny thing is the busier i am, the more i need to swim to keep stamina. Getting older sucks

the thought of the water in public pools and all the nasty people not taking sufficient showers before going in it grosses me out :2 cents:

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche

or gives us painful nasty gross ear infections :2 cents:

most ear infections come from people not using proper hygiene themselves, not from swimming in public pools..
