Another swim today. In some respects it wasn’t so hard as earlier in the week, but my body is clearly tired. There really wasn’t a lot of power in the stroke. Friday must be more popular too, as there must have been at least a dozen people swimming. Apparently in one session on Wednesday there was only one swimmer!
I’ve booked myself in for four swims next week, but properly in the fast lane this time (rather than just using it anyway having booked for medium) as it’s becoming clear that regardless of the “official” designations, the actual split between lanes is “slow and not very confident”, “slow, but swims regularly” and “everyone who is not slow”.
I’m hoping that after a couple more weeks of this I can get back to “proper” training, actually using times and suchlike, but for the moment I need to give my body time to adjust.
