Sit down and pour yourself a drink (or just stop reading now) because this is a long one. I haven't written anything in a while because, obviously, while hiding out during a pandemic, there was very little to write about. Like everyone, the coronavirus shut down my organized activities, and I was forced to step back and reevaluate my entire existence.

It's been especially difficult in 2020 because of the social distancing guidelines. We can't play like we used to. We can't do partner drills or relays. So I scour the internet and ask other coaches for ideas and unique drills that will challenge our youngest swimmers, hone their skills, AND make them laugh.

It's been a while. I haven't felt the urge to write a race report in a long time. Not because I haven't been racing but because I‘ve been crazy-busy working, coaching swimmers, and swimming. But on Friday I did something so outrageously fun that I felt compelled to write about it.

I went for a long swim in Lake Erie this weekend. The weather was awesome and I learned more about Lake Erie's changing conditions, how to spending more time in colder water, and the interesting effect of swimming in a current that showed up on video.

Because I'm a nerd, I proceeded with plotting points on maps and charts to describe my swim around Key West. With Google Map of my specific course and Excel spreadsheet charts of my pace and averages.
