I missed a day yesterday for reasons beyond my control, so back to the grindstone today with that same old Swimfit session, made up to 2.5km with front crawl. Although I’m not apparently getting any faster, I worked more on … Continue reading →

Loads of time today, and a deserted pool for a change from last week. I attempted another repeat of “that Swimfit session” and whilst my swimming actually felt better, I was still no faster. I spent some time trying to … Continue reading →

Once again I was late getting to the pool and it was only a short public session anyhow. And not only that. When I got there the pool was absolutely rammed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it so busy … Continue reading →

Yes, that session again 🙂 This time made up to 2.7km with front crawl. It was very tough today and my legs felt like jelly by halfway through the session, but it does feel as though my breaststroke (particularly) and … Continue reading →
