I swam again this week and again didn't have the time to post so I'm going to combine 3 days.
Day 22: Tuesday night I planned to meet my friend at the
ocean pool. I got there early and was again able to get in a few yards all by myself, which felt great. There weren't too many fish in the water that night, so I was able to stay in my rhythm. However my friend and I planned to meet again in the morning so I didn't want to work too hard. My friend didn't end up showing up and I swam a total of 1,200 yards before calling it a night.
Day 23: Day 23 was kind of a bust. I showed up at the
ocean pool early in the morning and started swimming. There were a lot of fish in the water that day. I was sharing a lane with someone when the lifeguard asked me to make room for a third. Unfortunately the third wanted to utilize more then his allotted space and after just a few minutes I had nearly collided with him twice. For my own safety I decided it was time to get out. I only got to swim 750 yards on Day 23. Thankfully my friend didn't show up so I didn't feel as bad leaving early.
Day 24: Day 24 made up for Day 23 in spades. I was having a bad day and decided I really needed to release some energy. I arrived at the
ocean pool a little early Thursday night. There were a few fish there, but I still felt like I was getting into a good rhythm and moving pretty quickly. I swam the entire time they were open, only stopping for a breather 3 or 4 times. By the time I got out I had swam 2,700 yards! That's a little over 1 and a half miles! That's the most I've swam in a single day yet!
On Day 22 I swam 1,200 yards + 750 yards swam on Day 23 + 2,700 yards swam on Day 24 = 4,650 yards swam between Days 22 and 24!
At the end of Day 21 I had 2,785,200 yards left to swim - 4,650 yards swam on Days 22, 23, and 24 = 2,780,550 yards left to swim.
I'm excited for next week. I ordered a new swimsuit this week and it arrived today. I can't wait to try it out in the
ocean pool. I'm on the look out for a new, less expensive, and more organized place to swim. I have some ideas I'm going to look in to this weekend.
