August's Project is drawing to a close and I must admit I have not been as focused as previous monthly projects. Only seven swimming trips this month, big effort required over the last week of the month.
Today, because of swimming pool opening hours, we had a return visit to Sleaford Swimming Pool. Just like the previous visit to Sleaford, it was again quiet, whether this is just a Friday night thing or that the place is always quiet I'm not sure. But again this is perfect for what is required. Unlike the last visit, we found the car park, even if we did do a couple of wrong turns along the way. But at least this time we did only do one lap of the one-way system.
Interestingly, Sleaford Swimming Pool is more than just a swimming pool….
….but today swimming was what we were here to do. Remembering that I could actually swim, but not very well, August's Project was all about improving my swimming with the distance goal of completing a triathlon, and I am happy to report that the more swimming I do the more comfortable I'm feeling. My front crawl technique is definitely getting better, and I am able to swim further and faster. I've also got into the habit of doing a bit of breaststroke, which I find less knackering, to enable me to swim for longer. Tomorrow's plan is a visit to Peterborough pool.
And after a visit to see my beautiful niece, a picture collage…..
