We finally made it back to swim practice. Well, we made it for part of practice. I just can’t seem to get there by 7:30, and I’m not exactly sad about missing out on the dryland training (although that probably means the dryland training would help me even more than the swimming does, but let’s not get into that).

It was nice to get back in the pool. It was nice to be swimming long course. We did more pulling than we have ever done before, and my shoulders are feeling it. I asked it I can bring my paddles for pulling in the future. Coach Dave said it would be ok. We’ll see if he still agrees after he sees how big they are.

After the pull sets, the guards switched the pool from long course to short course, and we finished up short course. It turned out to be really nice. I was in the most western lane of the team, with several empty lanes to the west of me… which was beautiful to swim next to as the sun went down.
