Philey why? Choose a fast lane and start your warmup, then some speed intervals. You can put on your fins and do some power/speed training also. And it’s Ok to have occasional contact. Usually it gets better on a lane.

@mik3ydll 4 жыл бұрын

especially in Germany and Austria afaik it's common to not have any lanes set up, meaning that people are all over the place just talking etc. and wasting space. The best thing is that, then they would also complain if someone splashes them when exercising. I really hate swim training without a reserved lane (swim clubs) because of that.

When the lifeguard watches the fast swimming lane fill up with people walking. Sharing a lane with 'The Splasher'. When the pool is full but the pro insists on soloing his lane by doing endless butterfly. Being hoofed by the guy doing breastroke in the next lane. Accidentally hoofing someone yourself,missing the moment to say sorry and then the awkward feeling everytime you rest at the same end. Parents who watch with ambivalence as their child traverses laterally across the pool. Aaaaaaaand... not swimming. Oh, that felt good to get off my chest, thank you!

No need for foggy googles! 1 part "no tear" baby shampoo and 4 parts water. Mix and put in a spray bottle. Spray your googles before you swim and you will have clear googles the whole time. Make sure to rinse googles with clean tap water after swimming to prevent a buildup of chlorine and other pool chemicals.

Like after swimming, swimmers can eat more than probably any animal that i know, that's how drainning this sport is This is just a FEW named examples of swimming from my own personal experience, but the WORST things and probably the funniest things to happen are that when you hit your hand on the lane rope it KILLS and feels like you hit barbed wire instead and hitting arms with your mate when swimming butterfly, also there are people who swim a 1500m WITHOUT goggles and people who swim down the middle of the lane and swim into you

I only started swimming in 2018 and never learned the math part; Garmin does all the calculating. Swimming must've been difficult back in the non-smart watch dark ages! :) Though once I jumped to a 50 m pool but forgot to change the pool length settings in advance. For the first 300 metres or so I was completely lost why my watch has just gone haywire!

I was asked to meet someone who had moved to my city a couple of months previously. We met at a cafe and got on well. At my next lifesaving class, my regular partner for the previous few weeks reminded me of the girl I'd met up with. Turned out we'd been partners in the class and neither of us recognised the other when we met up!

Lol, the cap one is so true. But using silicone caps and not latex ones helps. Also I cannot stand the pulling, so the only way I wear caps is by reversing the cap, filling it with water, then dropping it on my head. I've done it so many times that its faster than the normal way, and it doesnt pull on my hair.

I still remember the look of utter confusion The first time I referred to ‘dry land’ training to a non swimmer. I’d never realised what an odd term it is to someone who doesn’t associate ‘training’ with being in water.

A variation on the tumble turn mishap... I was once in a 100yd race in a pool that had a trough at the end. My feet seamlessly slipped into the trough and locked into it, stopping me instantly. Of course, everyone else carried on, leaving me floundering...

When you swim in the context of triathlon practice, it's also worse. The worst thing for me is eating, as after training in swimming I may go biking or running or both and it's not that you can eat large amounts of food after swimming if you are going to bike and/or run . I manage to use gels as I can assimilate them quite easily, but it's a bit of a pain nonetheless.

@richcrompton6891 4 жыл бұрын

Land Training! Haha! Worst nightmare now is training during a public session in a lane marked 'Fast Lane' and you really are the only person in there who is. Invariably sorted by a Butterly set or two, but 'fast' should be for the fast! There is the rest of the pool where the less speedy can plow up and down. - by fast, I do realise that there aren't many truly fast punters out there. I know pacing isn't my strong point though as I started my first ever tri with a 16m 28-sec 25m pool 1500m! 35 years on and I'm not so speedy!
