11 intrepid men braved the chlorine saturated air of Optimist Park to get better in the water today. Although we had some relatively new swimmers today, there we no FNGs, so we (literally) dove right in and got it going. Today’s focus included hypoxic training and learning some lap swimming drills.Warmup
