Today was a long swim, 6 x 500. I got to the Rec Center just before 6 this morning and ran into Joe in the parking lot. The pool was already open and we got started.
Joe lapped me on each 500 and on the last one decided to give me a lap head start then try to catch me. He succeeded.
But I am happy with my swim. I really feel like I am making progress with my stroke, speed will come.
Splits look like this:
9:36, 9:49, 9:59, 9:48, 9:49, 9:31

Very nice swim! If only I would show up in the parking lot, instead of Joe, YOU could be doing the lapping instead of getting lapped!
I don't wanna be anywhere near Joe in the pool.
Nice work! You're such a fishy :-)
Good job on the swim....I have my first "swim class" tonight!
Just who IS this Joe guy and WHY did he steal my name? I'm NOT pleased!
Great consistency in those splits. Fab job on the last one!
> speed will come
Are you doing any speed work in the pool? Once you are mostly satisfied with your stroke, you should start adding in sets of FAST 25's and 50's. For example, 12 x 25 FAST on :45 or even 1:00. That should be enough rest for you to go almost top speed on each rep.
