If you want good workouts for the novice to intermediate, check out this guy's blog. He posts a week's worth of workouts, usually 2500-3000 yards, good for about an hour.

I did about 400 today. No way I can do 2500 at this point.

Seriously, I work on a computer all day and do nothing with my arms. It was like trying to flap grandma's chicken wings through the water this morning.

I was happy that I really only needed three breaths to get across the pool though.

BTW, anyone a member at the Y? Looking for a member referral discount for you and me.

I thought you worked out. Or do you only run?

Make sure you're breathing on both sides.

Swimming is an excellent sport for minimaxers, because it's all about seeing how little effort you can expend to get across the pool in a given time. Make sure you're doing drills to improve your form, and make sure you know where the biggest gains from the smallest improvements can happen.

I'm only a member at the JCC. I'm sure there are lots of JCCs in Florida, so if you end up there, I can totally do a referral.

Never heard of JCC. Google shows there aren't any close by.

Only run and lift 20oz pours.

Good advice. Ya, after 20 minutes I felt exactly how I feel (minus heat exhaustion) after running five miles. Drained.

Boo!

I thought Jews abounded in Florida.
