800 Meters of Early Morning Swimming
Got to the gym early this morning because it seems to be about the only time you can find a free swimming lane at the Boston Sports Club in Waltham. Luckily there were a couple of lanes open, so I was able to get in and get started on my swimming workout. I reached my goal of going 200 meters today without having to stop. Also, I was able to do the flipturn quite a few times. The problem for me right now is that the flipturn still seems to expend too much energy, thus leaving my tired for the next 25-50 meters. Anyways, I ended up finishing the 800 meters worth of swimming, then chilled in the steamroom before showering and heading to work.

800 Meters of Swimming
800 Meters of Swimming
Got to the gym this morning but was a bit crunched for time. I headed straight out to the pool and proceeded to swim 800 meters. The swim featured 3 different instances of 100 meters without stopping, and the remaining 500 meters was a combination of different strokes and also catching my breath after 50 meters or so. Overall it was a good workout as I try to continue my swimming.

Shoulder Workout + Basketball Shootaround + 800 Meters of Swimming
Shoulder Workout + Basketball Shootaround + 800 Meters of Swimming
Sara and I went to the Boston Sports Club on a fine Easter afternoon for a nice logn workout. While she swam the entire time, I started out by lifting shoulders for about 35 minutes. I did standing dumbbell raises, sitting overhead dumbbell raises, shrugs, straight arm plate lifts, and machine assisted shoulder press. Afterwards I decided to try and keep my coordination with a bit of basketball. My shoulders and arms were fairly tired from lifting, so the shooting was not a pretty sight. I then decided to head to the pool to meet up with Sara.
I ended up swimming at 800 meters, including 2 different instances of swimming 100 meters without stopping (a first for me!). I mostly stuck with freestyle as Sara was teaching me the proper technique for a flipturn, but I also learned quite a bit about the form in backstroke from her as well. After all was said and done I headed back to the locker room for the steam room and shower.
