Tracking swimming performance.





I'm slowly getting back into shape, so I have decided to start logging my progress in the swimming pool. Today I did (medium effort) 1500m freestyle in 32:17 minutes, though the goal is to get it in 28:20 (2X the World Record). The following charts will show the progress...

I've got a plan (a swim plan)

I love swimming, but motivation dwindles sometimes. To keep going, there is nothing like a good coach, but at my age and my swimming level there is no chance of that. Alternatively one can get personalized swim plans that make the lap routine much more enjoyable. I've been using SiwmPlan for a couple of months now, and I would really recommend it. You keep good practice by doing warm-up and cool down exercises, and the plans provide a big variety of different exercises, which make the swimming time more productive and enjoyable.
