Figured the 4th was a good time to do a 1775 swim, except it's a long course pool, so rounded up to 1800. With my current level of fitness, this was just right as a challenge- kept swimming steadily, but not fast, and was just about done with the last lap when they blew the whistle.

Hooray! The base pool is open again! Strict 45 minute sessions, and from 45 after to the top of the hour is for cleaning and keeping incoming and outgoing traffic separate- so if you're late for your reserved slot, you lose that time. But, only active duty allowed right now, so seems to be plenty of capacity even for walk-ups if I don't manage to call ahead for a lane. Bummed that no civilians are allowed, and no dependents, so I can't take Katherine, and no swim team practice. Less bummed about the civilians, since they're allowed to go to other pools (big Navy put out an order last week that we're not allowed to go to public pools), which makes it tough when we're both active duty so Katherine can't go, either. And there's a lot of jellies in the river right now, so swimming from the beach isn't a great option. But yay for at least being able to swim myself! I've been pretty unmotivated since the pools and gyms closed in March.
