LOCO SWIMMING

Today was our first Saturday at the Longmont Rec Center. We only had 3 lanes, but only 6 swimmers, so it was fine.

On the plane ride home last night, I planned out a set (“pacers & chasers“) that allows gold/silver, silver/bronze, or bronze/iron to swim in the same lane. I’m not sure how well the set works. I know it looks more complicated than it really is. I’ll keep working on sets that will keep us moving in the space we get.

Keep in mind that the Rec Center does not open its doors until 7 am, so if you plan to swim on a Saturday, don’t bother coming early.

I’m still out of town, so I won’t be around for the first Friday morning at the LRC. I’m dying to know how it goes. Can someone provide a report?

Mondays – starting October 15
6:00 – 7:00 am

Fridays – starting October 12
6:00 – 7:00 am

Saturdays – starting October 13
7:00 – 8:00 am

We will be allotted 3 lanes for each session – at least for now.

Keep a good attitude. We’ll figure out a way to make this work.

With the impending freezing temperatures, Sunset Pool is CLOSED for the season.

Don’t ask me what comes next because I don’t know.

I am traveling for my day job through the end of this week. I hope everything is resolved (and we have 50 meter indoor facility) by the time I return Friday.
