Swimming, 15th April 2021
The initial post-lockdown frenzy appears to have died down already. There were only five people at the pool for my session today and one of those left after no more than thirty minutes. To be fair, the water was genuinely … Continue reading
Swimming, 13th April 2021
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
Swimming, 12th April 2021
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
Swimming tomorrow!
The pool is open and my first swimming session is booked for tomorrow afternoon! In fact I have four sessions booked next week, though the Friday one is at 9:30am which could be a bit of a shock to the … Continue reading
Swimming, 30th December 2020
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
Swimming, 29th December 2020
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
Swimming, 23rd December 2020
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
Swimming, 22nd December 2020
I wasn’t able to get to the pool yesterday, so today was my first swim of the week. I stuck with the same set as last Thursday and Friday. I didn’t really feel on top of my game — for … Continue reading
Swimming, 18th December 2020
Same set as yesterday for today, but fortunately my lane was a little quieter and I was a bit more on the ball with the timings. I managed to get through the 50m set with no failures though I can’t … Continue reading
Swimming, 17th December 2020
So, a new set today: 20 x 50m, target time 55s, interval 85s recovery 16 x 25m, target time 21s, interval 60s (or as many reps as there are time for) Actually it didn’t go too badly at all. I … Continue reading
