Interesting weeks swimming for me in that I made 1km on Wednesday for the first time since I started swimming again. Okay, it took me 63 mins but it felt quite easy and if I hadn’t run out of time, then I could perhaps have made it to 1 200m.
This morning with my local pool closed, I took myself down to the newly re-opened pool at Cannock for a few lengths and what a strange place. Firstly, they talk funny (yes, yes, I know everyone in the West Midlands apart from me has an accent but I thought I was in Wolverhampton some of the time!) and secondly, they have a system where you swim up the pool on the left hand side and back down on the right. It works well unless you have never been to the pool before…doh!
Anyway, I only had time to do 900m today but again, it didn’t feel that hard and for a change, I was catching and passing people….perhaps I have picked up some speed?
