Brooklyn Masters Swimming

You may have read recently in the Times about how it’s easier to exercise in the evening than in the morning. Well, here’s your chance to test that theory out.  Due to the holidays over the next two weeks the LIU pool will be closed in the mornings, so the Tuesday workouts for December 22 and 29 will instead take place from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.  There will be no workouts on Thursday, December 24 (Christmas Eve) and December 31 (New Year’s Eve), so all you grinches and party-poopers will have to find some other way to ignore the season.

Those of you looking to start the new year off with a swim can always head out to Coney Island at 1:00 pm on Friday and join the Coney Island Polar Bear Club in their annual New Year’s Day swim. You won’t get that much actual swimming in, but the cold water should at least get your heartbeat up a bit.

Registration for the One Hour Swim is now open.  This is an annual event where you swim for one hour in a pool, and a volunteer counts your laps.  The event takes place on two Sundays in January — January 10 at Columbia University, and January 31 at John Jay College.  For full details on this event, see the One Hour Swim Page on the TNYA site.
