Before I moved office last May/June I used to swim fairly regularly at lunchtimes, 2-3 times a week minimum. I really enjoyed it and it was really helpful in managing my weight (wasn’t too expensive either).
I also found that it really helped relax my legs if I had had a hard day on the bike the day before. So when I moved offices, I was disappointed to find that there wasn’t a pool anywhere nearby (there are a few very expensive gyms that have small crappy pools but nothing of a useful size). So I stopped swimming and boy, did the weight pile on.
I had plans to swim before work at home but that would have entailed a ridiculously early start, and anyway, the whole point of swimming at lunchtime was to make best use of the day.
So I’m pleased that a pool has reopened not too far from me – so hopefully I’ll be back to regular swimming and good, even weight loss (having seen the video and photo of the TRAT training ride from last Saturday, it’s very clear tat I need to lose *lots* of weight (for me and my health, not just for cycling plans).
Looking forward to my first swim in ages tomorrow
