Posted on December 3, 2020 by james

Back to the pool after another enforced lay-off due to Covid restrictions, and I have to admit that it was tough. Not as bad as it was last time, exactly four months ago, but far from easy. I think I … Continue reading →

Swimming, 4th November 2020

Posted on November 4, 2020 by james

Another awkward day, but much better than earlier this week. I was sharing the lane with two swimmers of a similar pace and slightly slower than me, swimming continuously. So mostly I could avoid them, but every so often I’d … Continue reading →

Well, the impending lockdown seems to have brought out all the people who haven’t been swimming since the last one ended. I think there were more people at the pool for my session today than I’ve seen since the day … Continue reading →

Well, today was a bit of a disaster. Again I struggled a bit, but there were three slower swimmers in the lane (two significantly slower) which made the entire thing a bit of a mess. I swam over someone several … Continue reading →

Swimming, 26th October 2020

Posted on October 27, 2020 by james

I struggled with my 50m set today. Despite not swimming over the weekend I still felt quite tired. Could be the ‘flu vaccination that is to blame, though I don’t actually feel any obvious side effects. Anyhow, I managed only … Continue reading →

Had a bit of a mixed session today. My 50m set was tough from the start. I could really feel the tiredness in my arms and was already struggling when timings got messed up because several people arrived late and … Continue reading →

Posted on October 22, 2020 by james

It was exceptionally quiet in the pool today. Only four people including myself, and one of those was a member of the staff. That may be why there’s no session at the same time next week, unless they’re using it … Continue reading →

Swimming, 20th October 2020

Posted on October 20, 2020 by james

Almost didn’t make it to the session today. Unintentionally I left home late and then was stuck behind a van being driven very slowly for the first couple of miles, then behind a heavily-laden articulated lorry with a trailer, also … Continue reading →
