Here’s the workout:

WARM UP

• 4 lengths flutter kick with kickboard

WORKOUT

• 4 lengths timed front crawl  (It took me 3 minutes and 30 seconds)
• 4 lengths front crawl
• 2 without paddles, 2 with
• 4 lengths breast stroke (It’s still a weak stroke, but it’s getting better)
• 4 lengths lengths front crawl with buoy
• 4 lengths front crawl
• 2 with pool buoys
• 2 with pool buoys and paddles
• 4 lengths timed front crawl (It was also 3 minutes and 30 seconds.  I would have expected it to be slower than the first set.)

COOL DOWN

• 4 lengths flutter kick
• 2 front
• 2 back
• then I threw in an extra lap of flutter kick to round out the yards to 850

I’m going to keep my swim at 850 yards for a few weeks.  I am going to spend time on technique and speed.  I didn’t time this workout, but it was about 45 minutes.  I’d like to do this in 30 minutes.  I have no idea if that is even doable, but it’s a goal.

It’s been so nice to get back into the pool for more than water aerobics.  I didn’t realize how much I missed swimming laps.
