Hydrate - drink water. Just because you are in cool water does not mean you are not sweating - your muscles are working just as hard as running on a treadmill.
I stop every 5 laps to drink.

I swim a modified backstroke due to hypermobile joints. That's it. The objective is not to move fast, but just to move. I have been looked down on by many for it. I can pass and be passed with the best of them. Not every swimmer trains with speed in mind.

In Australia we swim clockwise and lanes are usually marked fast, medium, slow, freestyle only or recreational.
If someone taps your toes, that indicates they’re a faster swimmer, so at the end of your lap, stand to the side and let them through.
Every pool has lap nazis who think they own the lane which is the equivalent of the school bully…. I shut them down quick smart and they’ll back off once you stand up to them👊

Sorry but the cost of the app makes me avoid it

How do you know when to switch up or down a lane? Eg. From slow to intermediate and vise versa

If you're in England do you swim clockwise? 😊😊😊

I forget to breathe while swimming because I started two years ago by training myself only underwater. This becomes very exhausting

I have a lap swimmer for decades now and I SWIM NON-STOP for 30 minutes. Its a great workout. Stopping to catch your breath would not make it a cardio workout. Stop saying its a mistake. Just because its not the "swim team" way to do it doesn't make it a mistake.

Thought she said "Are you a vegan swimmer" I was immediately offended
