Hi all, I’ll be visiting Seoul and Busan October 26-Nov 8. Any chance of us catching a game? Or is it too late/difficult

Is NYC Parks giving them away at the pool birthdays? I really want to get one but don't know how!

Hi all, I am a (36F) NYC-based new lap swimmer--I learned as a kid and have tried to build a lap swimming routine for years but never really stuck with it. This summer, NYC public pools have a challenge whee if you swim 25 miles by the end of August you get a shirt, and it is weirdly motivating me to try to hit the goal. I have a giant gorgeous outdoor pool super close to me, so trying to see if I can do it. Would love all of your takes as to whether this is realistic, or diving in too deep?

I am 5 days in, started swimming 1,200 meters a day and am now doing 1,700, 4x a week (taking Wednesdays off for recovery). Right now that mile takes me about 45 mins. In order to hit the 25 miles I will need to do about 4-4.5 miles a week between now and the finish. Been tired/sore but nothing terrible. I am feeling extra exhausted today, which may be hormonal, and wondering if anyone has tips?

Should I slow down, power through, eat more protein, train in a certain way? Thanks!
