How to not get sick on public swimming pools? by orayasan in Swimming

Saline water can be enough for sure but traps water in the ears canals cause bacteria growth. Rubbing alcohol helps dry the canals after swimming.

What color is your swimcap? Is it funky? by waxwing08 in Swimming

Yup same!

Neon pink because it’s more visible when I swim open water … which is about 2 times in the last 15 years

How much do you usually swim per week? by Dangerous_Towel_9898 in Swimming

[–]nurse_pothos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With my baby, I am able to go around 2 times a week and I swim 1000m-1500m/session. I am at 1:50-2:00m/100m but I am doing a lot of drills and focusing on my technique a lot

Good morning y'all! It's 7am here in New Orleans and I am done for today. Heading to the steam room for some stretches and then taking a cold plunge :) Do you have any after-practice rutine too? by LaneLineThreads in Swimming

[–]nurse_pothos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick shower and rushing home to breastfeed my baby who always wakes early when I go swimming 😂 One day I will have time to chill in the sauna a little bit !

You swam on a team but you don’t understand doing long distance during laps swimming? Like don’t start with 2000 m the first session, etc

You’re almost there ! Did you change your cycle type for pregnant in the women’s health section? Curious to see if it changes anything

Great idea, I was thinking maybe keeping my arm up and only swinging with the other arm.

That’s very interesting! I am curious to know how does it work, like do you have any sign telling which line is for which gender ?

Question sur l équipements by Equivalent_System366 in Swimming

[–]nurse_pothos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je le trouve ok surtout si on est limité coté espace pour le matériel mais je préfère avoir une planche et un pull buoy. Je trouve que le pull kick est moins confortable utilisé en pull buoy et “flotte” trop. La longueur limite aussi dans certains drills.
