Dec 7, 2020 – Swim Regio Solothurn

Recovery focused Monday evening with an aerobic workout for the Senior group as we moved into the third week of our intrasquad meet series. As last week, we split into our event groups for the main chunk of today’s work and started the practice with ROM (range of motion aka stretching) work before getting in the pool.

This week took a different spin with our area in Switzerland going into a second shutdown on Friday (“ordered” by the government until the end of February 2021).
