Thanks for your reply, Dr. Tigerchick. More clearly, I was asking if my steady swimming speed improvements stagnate if I avoid the pool until it gets too dark to swim in the ocean after work. I'm getting great muscular endurance but doubt I'm getting any faster so I'll try some open water intervals between the buoys on tonight's swim.

Scheherazade, I do a quarterly DEXA scan. I like them because they are accurate, repeatable, do bone density, show asymmetries, and I don't get dunked in cold water like in hydro-static. It's actually the only time I weigh myself other than at the doctor's office.
On the other hand, My training partner has the Garmin scale -- he weighs in every day but doesn't look at the number each time -- he has really useful trended data on weight and composition.
