Took the plunge and swam in my neighborhood pool. Under the cover of darkness so that hopefully no one else gets this idea and I have to share (the pool lights are on all night though). Pool is ~20 yards long, no gutters, water temp 68-70F.
Roughly 6x400 in my swimrun wetsuit. Very choppy, did open turns all the time since a) in a wetsuit and b) no markings on the wall with a sharp concrete overhanging edge.
Overall felt like I had swam but I wouldn't call it a good session.
I had this crazy dream that I was doing a 10x100 fly session...
that's my chlorination for the day. I have run every day since the 100/100 other than 1 day. Luckily I am back to running to keep me sane. Did not buy the stretch chords yet. On concept 2 rowing machine 5 days out of 7 and just ordered some new rollers with more resistance. I will probably order the stretch chords soon, but right now, I am banking on June 10th as my next swim when I can bank on it being warm enough around here. That's ONLY 2.5 months away.
After 12 days of no swimming which is my longest break from swimming in something like 30 years (including when I was a triathlete vs primarily a slow swimmer recently) its my longest time out of the water in my adult life.

you MIGHT be able to swim then. Around here, all of the municipal and provincial parks are closed, which includes any of the swimmable lakes that I can think of. I'm hopeful that they'll be able to be reopened by June, but I won't put any money on that.
Since I'm working from home (and have to try to keep the kids entertained while doing so) last couple of days we've done a workout after lunchtime, stuck a kid-friendly workout on youtube on the TV and went at it with the 3 and 4 year old. Today they mutinied and we played with Lego at lunch instead.
