Ideas for dealing with close quarters

Our last scheduled day at Sunset is currently Saturday, October 13. What happens after then? I don’t know.

It’s possible that morning masters gets some time at the Rec Center. But how many days? How many lanes? I don’t know. If I had to guess, the answers would be:

a) fewer than we get now, and
b) fewer than we get now.

So what can we do? I’m working on ideas for how we might be able to conduct fun and useful workouts with just 2 or 3 lanes. I’ll throw one out there to get the discussion going:

Use two lanes. Normal(-ish) warm-up using both lanes. Main set consists of 25 sprints in one lane, with recovery 25s in the second lane.

What is the most important aspect of a masters workout that you would like to see continue, in spite of time and space constraints? What do you think might work? Leave a suggestion in the comments.

We have another week!

Sunset Pool will be open for at least another week, according to the city website. As of today, the close date for Sunset Pool is Sunday, October 14.

It really comes down to the weather. If the weather stays mild, we could get another extension. However, if the weather gets erratic or cooler, then the pool will close.

That means the last morning masters session is Saturday, October 13.

Need some drills?

Hey, did you know about the website goswim.tv? It’s a website with lots of swim drills and short videos that cover all kinds of topics. In the last year they’ve switched over to a subscription model that limits access, but you still watch lots of swim videos for free. I go there when I need inspiration for new “b*****t 50s” at the end of warmup.
