Swimming, 23rd April 2021

A repeat of yesterday’s set, which I honestly thought probably couldn’t go any better, but in fact I had around a quarter of my 50m swims below 47s and only a couple in the 48s, so I was both pleased … Continue reading →

Swimming, 22nd April 2021

Posted on April 23, 2021 by james

Having managed the previous sessions without too much bother today I knocked five seconds off the interval, bringing it down to 100 seconds. Until such time as I get closer to having twenty to twenty-five seconds rest that’s all I’m … Continue reading →

I stuck with the same plan for today as yesterday and very happily found that for all of my 50m reps I was a comfortable second faster than I’d managed only twenty-four hours previously. Even the 25m reps were no … Continue reading →

Swimming, 13th April 2021

Posted on April 18, 2021 by james

Pretty much the same thing as yesterday, though it didn’t feel quite so painful and I think I’m remembering how to do tumble turns now. Cold water again though. I’m guessing they’re still heating it. Low overnight temperatures probably aren’t … Continue reading →

Well, what an adventure! My first swim since 30th December. It felt very strange to be back in the water (which wasn’t very warm, either). For this week I’m just going to try to get back into the feel of … Continue reading →

Another late session, and just before I left we got the news that we will be in a tier four Covid restrictions area from tomorrow, so that’s swimming over with for an unspecified period of time 🙁 Very disappointed about … Continue reading →
