The title is a lie. Our coach was a few minutes late and the facility wouldn’t let us in until she arrived. We actually swam 51 minutes. Honestly, this irritated me. I don’t like it when the facility doesn’t let us in so that we can get the entire 55 minutes, and I don’t like coaches coming late making it so we don’t get our full 55 minutes in. On the upside, I get to swim with friends. And those friends often push me. Despite this being my 7th day of swimming, I was swimming fast. the fast 200 was 2:45. Considering I was pulling, that is fast. 🙂 Another positive: I don’t have to create the workouts.
