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.

2,000,000 Meters and Counting
Warning: Serious gloating in this post. I hit another mini-goal today, with the completion of my two millionth swimming meter since I starting adding up my laps a few years ago (I only started counting because I needed something to keep me going, thought it was cool when I realized 1,000,000 meters was attainable and now I've doubled that!). So what is 2,000,000 meters? It's 80,000 lengths and 40,000 laps (25 meter pool), too many flip turns to count and 804 workouts. Reality knocking ... serious competitive swimmers probably do this in 1/3rd the time or less. Much less.
