Due to my work schedule, 99% of all my training is solo, and today was no different. I'm normally a pretty steady 1:50-1:55/100y swimmer, and can do a mile without a problem. Today while doing my laps, someone i'd never seen before at the pool got into the lane next to me and started doing laps. Best part was, he was just a bit faster than me, so I pushed my pace to keep up with him. For my mile I was able to average a 1:47 pace. He finished up not long after I did, I commended him on being a solid swimmer, mentioned how it was great to have someone at roughly the same level, he agreed. He asked what time I was normally at the pool, and we've set a soft target for meetups at the pool. Yay!

Cool.  Swimming is he one area where I don't really train with anyone.  Mostly because my pool is always packed and I am fighting for space, and the folks there are slow.  Our times are roughly the same, my 50M lengths average around 57 seconds, and I do a mile a week.  Looking to get that time down to 55 seconds and then start extending the length leading up to my Half in October.

Too bad you didn't say  SHE as that would have made it more special.
