I swam long course tonight at Santa Monica College.

Since I have been swimming open water on Sunday mornings in between the Manhattan/Hermosa piers, long course meters now feels as small as a motel pool. Of course that is hyperbole but I do feel more comfortable swimming long course than I do swimming short course yards. My stroke is longer, I can focus more on technique and I maintain my momentum.

On prima facie this is an obvious indication that my turns need work but that open water swimming has been good cross training mentally and aerobically.
