The Itty Bitty Slow Swim Workout

First swim in a week.  That's right a full week.  Not that I haven't been working out because I have been.  Boy have I been working out.  I guess I've been busy with spinning at work I never got around to swimming last week.  But I'm back, sort of.

The Itty Bitty Slow Swim Workout -

100 swimming easy

100 pulling w/o paddles easy

Oy!  The water was so warm.  We haven't had any big long rain showers to cool the water at all.  Since the pool has no chillers it's way up in the 80's if not 90's.  Noon time swimming is so not good right now.

And with that I called it quits at 1,400 yards.  I plan on swimming another short workout tomrrow in between work.  Since the water will still be hot I'll find some easy short distance sets to swim.  I need to really get swimming more often.
