I made it back to the pool today for the first time since last Saturday. It felt good to be swimming again. I don't think I lost much if anything in that time period. Running keeps my heart and lungs healthy, so I'm not too concerned about taking a little time off of swimming now and then but I'm not going to make a habit of it. If anything, I want to try to be more consistent with my swimming in the future, even if it comes at the expense of running, at least initially. I need to work on increasing my pool endurance and that is only going to happen with consistency.
This morning I was able to do 300 yards non-stop, but probably could have pushed myself and done another 100. After the 300 yards, I did 4X100, 4X50 and 4X25. I seem to have plateaued a little here. I'm hoping next week I can push it up to 1X400, 1X200, 4X100, and 4X50 - which is the "official" workout for week 3 of the program I am loosely following. I'm pretty sure I can do 400 yards - I've done it before. I'm not so sure I can follow that up with 200 yet.
Next up: 5K tomorrow!
