First day back to the pool - Layton Surf N' Swim

 Today the bubble was finally reinstalled and I was in the water doing my first pool workout since January 1st, 2020 at SDRC with Sam!

It's been open water, or endless pool swimming for me since that time.  Woah!  Last week I got an annual pass to Layton and had to wait till today since they were putting the bubble up.  Here's the workout I created before going in:


200 free warmup

1000 - 4 x 25's on side on 1:00, 4 x 50's backstroke on 1:15, 4 x 75's free/breast/free on 1:30, 4 x 100's build on 2:00

Repeat last 1000 set but in reverse.

400 Cooldown

2,600 yards total

Felt great.  Shoulders are gonna feel it for sure.  But I didn't push it and my heart rate never got super high. Just something to get back into it without feeling overwhelmed or too hard to come back and swim again tomorrow!  

I love that I'm no longer working for Salesforce!!!  I was so unhappy there for over a year. And now I can actually get a good nights sleep, get up and mozy on over to the pool and be in the water at around 7:30am and not have to fight for a lane.  The water temp was at 81 degrees which isn't terrible.  I wanted to swim at pineview many times the past few weeks, but Pineview has had a bad case of E Coli and toxic algae so I haven't swam since the last time I went there.  

I got a job as the Northridge High School Swim Coach, and tryouts are today.  That should be interesting to get back into coaching too.  I'm really excited.  I also got hired as an assistant to CCAT team.  I go in after this afternoon's tryouts to get setup. 

What a good day!

What is CCAT? I am so excited for you. You are going to be an awesome coach. (Again) I am glad you are posting workouts here. I really would like to get back into swimming again at SDRC. 🤞
