My pool is getting some much needed upgrades, but will be closed for 6+ months. I recently have started to do 30 minutes of some cardio (treadmill walking, stationary bike, elliptical, rowing machine) and then 10-15 min weight lifting before going to the pool to do my 30-45 min swim (as listed in a previous post of mine).

But when the pool closes in December, I'd like to have a variety of workouts I can do to keep up the strength and agility I've gained from swimming.

I will be financially able to swim maybe once a week elsewhere, but I have already paid for this membership (knowing it'll be closed) and have access to a full gym as well as some classes, pilates, yoga, etc.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

I'm genuinely curious about all of you, if you're willing to spend a few minutes answering these questions

1. how old are you?

2. why do you swim?

3. how often do you swim?

4. what does your typical swim time/day look like?

For me...

1. 41

2. I swim for my health, mental and physical. I had high blood pressure after my 2nd child was born and wanted to get my body back into some kind of shape.

3. 3-4 days/week, 30 min to 1 hour each time

4. I do sets of this (2-3x)

- 300 m front crawl with front snorkel

- 100 m back stroke

- 100 m breast stroke

The second time I do this set, I add flippers and hand paddles

When I'm done with those, I do 100 m fly kick with the snorkel, and then another 100 cool down.

How about you? What does your swim week look like?

I am not trying to get or give any product advice, just curious how much you all do?
