I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.

Day 8 and Going
I've now completed eight days of my "Swim to Hawaii" goal (see profile) and I must say, this is fun. I've set up a spreadsheet to make the calculations and tracking simple. Not shown on the blog are things like my total meters-to-date, number of circular laps, number of lengths, etc. It's fun to see the numbers building. At present, I'm averaging 2,200 meters per day (I usually don't swim on weekends - reserving it for some other physical activity). Looks like, at this pace, the swim will take about 7.5 years. Stay with me now!
