First swim of the new year, and not entirely to my surprise the pool was unusually busy. Past years suggest that it will have all calmed down again by the end of the month 🙂
I wasn’t expecting too much today as my shoulder was feeling a little battered after my Covid booster shot yesterday, on top of which I’d only swum once in the last two weeks I think, but actually it wasn’t so bad. I did have a few slow reps where I was avoiding other swimmers, but generally I was less than a second off where I’d like to be for the 50m reps. And oddly enough my shoulder felt much better for the exercise afterwards.
