So I decided to go to the new Northwest Recreation Center. My mom said she has a membership and that the pool is really good. She was right. It's an 8 lane pool and the whole facility is brand new so it's top notch. Five of the eight laps are for water aerobics. Upon seeing that I wasn't excited about feeling the temperature. Clearfield Aquatic center is just like this pool, but they really cater to the old folks. However I felt the water and it was surprisingly cool. My therm read 79 degrees. The place had a real "old people" vibe. There weren't any athletic swimmers going, just old people bobbing, an old lady snorkel swimming, and a couple of middle aged guys getting a swimming lesson.
It cost me $4.50 for a day pass. Not bad. That's 50 cents cheaper than SDRC. The place just needs more people and a masters team or something, it just FEELS so boring.
I wanted to get in 6000 yards, and thanks to Layton and SDRC I was able to get it done, but later in to work than I wanted. The pumps or something underwater was loud! It sounded like there were jets underwater. I've never heard such commotion underwater in a pool before. But it wasn't terribly distracting. After about 5 minutes it didn't register in my mind all that much. I'm a little sore from Saturday's swim, but not so bad that I skipped today's workout. Today's focus is recovery and long easy strokes. No need to really push it today:
1800 - 1800 yards straight. Stretch out. Get those stiff shoulders loosened
200 - 200 IM easy
2000 - 10 x 200's pull with ankle strap on 2:45
1000 - 2 x 500's kick with fins
1000 - 4 x 4 x 4
6000 Yards total
