Enjoy it. Choose the slow lane at first. Try to just breathe and enjoy the act of the water. It’s very therapeutic.

Start very slow, slow gentle laps don’t push yourself in the beginning try enjoy it, take breathers if you have to and then go again.
It’s is therapeutic and hypnotic.

So I got this new watch for runners and it says it is capable to track activity in pool. Wanted to ask what devices you are using for swimming? Not a swimmer here, but try to implement it more into my schedule. I like to track my gym workouts, running and now swimming too.

I have no idea what’s a good swim time. This felt ok for my first swim in a long while. I was driving to the pool and could tell it was going to be a lovely sunrise. It made me depressed to not get to run and watch it.

Welcome to the pool.

No idea really, but I can do a mile in 45 minutes breaststroke. I mainly monitor how I feel. You did great.

I’m heading down in a few min for a sunrise swim, planning a slow 2km but that’s a push, will definitely at least try make a mile
