Can’t wait to try! Working on slowly building a swim exercise routine now that I have access to a pool!!

Thanks! I like alternating between a forearm plank to a high plank one arm at time. Deadly.

I can hardly move after swimming this morning. Maybe one day, after I build up endurance, I'll be able to do some of these. Regardless, great info. Saving this one.

It's like you all knew we'd suddenly lose access to pools

Too overwhelming for 76 year old who can’t access indoor pool this winter due to COVID-19. I close my own pool this week due to arrival of cold weather
