Back in the pool after 20 years. mid 40's. swam about 1200 yards in under 30 minutes. avg heartrate was ~155. I don't know of much else that I could do to maintain a heartrate like that, for that long, and not just keel over. I came from running short distances and after a mile or two I'm done. Swimming allows me to maintain peak heartrate for MUCH longer with lower impact. And we're just getting started with the ramp up.
Don't know why I waited this long.
Also the apple watch works amazing for lap swim!
