This is the final of my planned Friday open threads — I decided to do these as a trial run for the whole month of August, and gauge interest. From my perspective, people seem to have enjoyed them, so I would like to hear from you in the comments if you would like me to continue to do these in an ongoing way.

In addition, I have a prompting question, brought to you by the fact that I had my first day back in the library since mid-March this week. So my question is: what changed for you this week? It can be a big change, or a small change, as long as it's some kind of change.

You know about my change — so what are yours?

OMG CONGRATS! That's a huge achievement!

Are you keeping track of distance at all? What swim strike are you doing? /misses swimming

Thank you! I don't think I've been in this good shape for years.

I haven't been keeping track of distance, just time and sometimes number of laps. Though once I find out the length of the pool it'll be easy enough to roughly calculate. I didn't want to get myself down by finding out how slow I probably am!

I focus mostly on the breast stroke. Much easier for me than the crawl/freestyle; though I'd love to take a lesson or two at some point and learn to do that. So much more efficient than the breast stroke, I think. And I want to learn how to kick turn!

What part of crawl are you having issues with? I remember having trouble with the breathing rythm when I started out.

In fairness to the breast stroke, it is the only swim stroke that works underwater.
