Longest Swim in 13 Months!
>> Saturday, September 05, 2026
It's not "long," but it's starting to feel a little more like normal swimming...
It was August of 2025 when I lost my access to the U of M pool. I didn't swim for about 10 months, and since joining a gym, I've been gently adding distance as it slightly aggravates my sore shoulder (injured in December).
My shoulder has felt better in the pool the last 2 weeks or so, so I wasn't afraid to add a little distance during my swim earlier this week. I did a pretty normal pyramid workout that I've done a lot in the past. A few weeks ago when I was in the Eagan pool, I did a version of this workout, but I skipped the final 300 on the way "down" the pyramid. But earlier this week, I did the normal pyramid of 100, 200, 300, 400, 300, 200, and 100:
1:31
3:16 (1:38, 1:38)
4:58 (1:39, 1:41, 1:38)
6:33 (1:38, 1:39, 1:40, 1:36)
4:50 (1:38, 1:36, 1:36)
3:08 (1:35, 1:33)
1:29
Even though it wasn't amazing, I was happy I got in the distance, and I was happy my times on the way down were all faster.
