Clearing the "Swim Watch" memory

The 100 lap memory of my Timex Ironman "swimming" watch is full. Going to save the splits of my longer swims for posterity/future review.

Sun, Nov 15: 2,500 yds in 47:29 - good swim, might be a PR for this distance. For the last two sets of 250 yds - I alternated between breast-stroke and freestyle for each half-lap/pool-length. Followed up the swim with a 65-min spin session. :-)
