Great resource to find a pool
I've used a number of services to find lap pools while traveling. This is my favorite as of May 2019 https://www.swimmersguide.com
1 Month of Solid Training
For too long, I've been swimming regularly, but not actually training. This has yeilded some disapointing meet results. For years, I've gotten serious about swimming for a week or two, and I let the progress slip away. The 2019 Michigan Masters state meet was a wake up call for me. My times were far below my standard. I didn't look good or feel good. In fact, I didn't take the meet seriously at all because I hadn't put serious training in. There was no expectation of excellence having not put the work in. I've gotten serious about my training again. I've spent 4 solid weeks training and swimming 2,000 - 3,000 yards a day, 6 days a week. I'm focusing on high-intensity sprinting and kicking. I'm feeling better and I'm on a schedule. I'm commited to improving.
