Swimming #4

August’s Project, swimming, continues like Michael Phelps halfway through a world record swim. Today we visited Spalding’s Castle Swimming Pool. Before leaving we had a quick look on the website to find out where it was, it seemed simple enough. However, when we got to the place indicated on the website no swimming pool could be seen. Undetered we had a drive around and eventually found it, in a totally different place from where it should have been…

I was pleasantly surprised with the pool, no wave machine, no flumes, just a standard old-fashioned pool. Only £3.40 entrance, for that you get 3 pools: diving pool, kiddies pool and standard pool. Good for what I wanted to do. Marie had joined me for today’s swimming session which ended up pretty good. My technique is definitely improving, I’m beginning to feel more confident with the breathing element and I can swim further than a couple of weeks ago. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to make Team GB, but so far so good.

On a negative note….I’m not entirely sure what crap they put in the pool but my eyes have been really sore all afternoon. Too much chlorine me thinks!!!!

I think practice is definitely the answer to this swimming lark.

In the words of Mo Farah….”Hard work and grafting!”
