First Day Back In The Pool

Posted on

After an almost 4 months Covid-19 swim break, we are finally back in the pool. And, man, we are out of shape!


The staff at the aquatic center did an amazing job to get everything ready for the reopening today. Swimming by appointment only! An entirely new experience! Signs are up, everything gets cleaned multiple times a day, masks are mandatory up to the edge of the pool, pool is only open for lap swimming and lifeguards oversee social distancing. Body temperature and personal contact information are taken from every person before entering the aquatic center, the locker rooms are limited to the bare minimum and all pathways are one-way. Well organized, great job!

We each did a 30 minute swim. I kept it “light” with a 1,100 meters breaststroke only routine, while Dani switched up freestyle and breaststroke for 1,350 meters. We definitely will have some sore muscles tomorrow, but it really felt amazing to be back.
