I'm suprised this hasn't been established already?

who does swimming around here?

how far do you swim?

how long do you swim for?

do you swim in a pool or the ocean?

Does anyone do any open water races??

I swim 3-5 times a week, anywhere from 2-4km in the Ocean.

Damn I haven't swum properly for years...tested my bi-lateral breathing the other day and I still have it :D

Used to love the swim carnivals as a kid/teenager and swimming in squad. Now find the idea of swimming in a warm public pool a bit :/

Tommy Hafey swims in the bay 365 days a year. No shit he told me. Champion.

The Harold Holt pool has an awesome 50m outdoor pool which in the winter is awesome and spooky, love going late at night when the condensation is rising and you get out and it's freezing cold.

Usually just swim 1km breaststroke but not so much of that in my routine at the moment.

I hate the ocean, love to swim in pools though.

I just dislike the salt, sand and have an irrational fear of jellyfish, sharks and stingrays. Hell, I don't even like crabs.

I am opposite I love the ocean, ok with outdoor salt pools... Hate indoor pools...

i reckon it depends on what temp the pool is at, prefer outdoor pools with temp less than 18 degrees.

bay at the moment is around 19 degrees.

Optimal temp is 15 degrees... but i swim all year round! winter and everything in between!

get's to 6 degrees.

Posted earlier about stroke correction. The highlight of the week is now my weekly coaching session. Having a coach through the winter has kept my motivation up, the drills and technique improvement she has given me has been money well spent and enjoyed.

    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
    • Ahh yeah, probably not too surprising - nice catch anyway, aside from being a bit of a pain.  I think we've done a bit of wrestling and grinding to make sure all is aligned and clearanced nicely if it seems like a potential ongoing problem.
    • Yes - at ~2500-2700 rpm (ie, about 100-110) it was barking a bit. But I've heard that before. Makes me wonder if I haven't captured the flapper open in the past, but with the circlip still in place it rectified itself. More than once.
    • Ahh one of my favourite things Have experienced that with a couple of aftermarket IWG turbo setups, a hint is (usually?) the exhaust gets a bit rowdier/tinnier under normal driving around as you've effectively lost a muffler you usually have operating when you're lurking around off boost.    When I do road trips in my BMW I often (don't tell anyone I do this...) run it in Eco-Pro mode which turns out to open the wastegate at cruise to keep it working as an NA and maybe a little less pumping loss by having the exhaust have an easier path, never noticed that this is what was happening until I upgraded my dump pipe and starting thinking "Why is my car sounding a bit like it's got an exhaust leak now?" - only to find it go away when I run it in any other mode.   Time to go external gate
