Another late session rather than my usual lunchtime slot thanks to timetable rearrangements during the school holidays. I did the same set as last time again: having had five days off I thought that was probably sensible. It showed too, … Continue reading →

Thanks to other things that needed sorting out I didn’t swim in my usual post-lunch slot today, but a few hours later at 5:30pm. It felt quite odd, not just turning up at the pool in the dark, but swimming … Continue reading →
