šŸŒŠ Aquajogging 26 x 25 m = 650 m
šŸŠā€ā™€ļø Freestyle 10 x 25 m = 250 m
šŸŠā€ā™€ļø Breaststroke 10 x 25 m = 250 m

Today I tried to push my aquajogging speed a bit. It's interesting because not every faster movement actually gets me to advance faster and, unlike #running, the body temperature remains low even under effort.

I'm starting to enjoy these water workouts. Too bad the swimming pool will close for two weeks starting from next week.

@s1m0n4 Iā€™m admittedly curious to try it!

@WTL it's definitely interesting! And it's surprisingly becoming less boring as I try out different movement patterns to find the best technique.
Also the head stays above water, so I have a full view of the pool and the people in it. And I can talk to the people who are beginner swimmers or parents trying to teach the kids how to swim, etc.
The social aspect is something I wouldn't have thought about.

Having done aquajogging in pools where everyone else was lane-swimming, it was cruelly boring. However, in a pool where there is a wider range of activity, it's very interesting, as Simona says. The closest pool to me has a lot going on. I purchased my own belt when I was training for 1/2 marathon distance after breaking an ankle. I did some fabulous "long runs" in a nearby lake, at the time. Now, I'm doing it because all of the city pools have $3.50 admission for seniors, every day at lunchtime, and I cannot seem to force myself to go out for a neighbourhood walk with any sort of consistency It's been fun. It will be a bonus if I eventually chat with folks from the neighbourhood.
