08/27/06 All Strokes Getting Started Again

If you've been wondering why there have been no practices recently it's because the the pool that we use for UV Rays practice is being renovated and is closed till mid September. Also, I took a break after FINA Worlds and have been doing more running than swimming.Today I got into my local (20-yard) pool and just went a bunch of EZ, aerobic 200s, trying to work all the muscles and all the strokes. This would be a good individual or team practice in the first week(s) of a new season.
