I love the pool in the summer, there was literally 4 of us there. lol Had a great swim tonight. I hit a kilometer in under 40 mins, all done in 50m increments, which is great for me! I felt strong in the water tonight. Unfortunately, on my 44th length my calf cramped up and I couldn't keep going
I tried to stretch it out, but couldn't. Ugh. 0 -

I have a strange question - do you mean there's fewer people in the pool in the summer?0 -

Yep! I live in Ontario. Winters call for indoor activities, when the weather turns nice everyone is dying to get outside so no one goes to the indoor pool. The outdoor pool in my town opens this weekend, I'll be there instead of driving to the indoor pool in the next town. Gotta take advantage of the nice weather while we have it.0 -

Omg. When I think of downright frigid weather, my imagination only goes as far as Minnesota or Wisconsin.
. So glad the weekend's coming and the pool will be a bit closer for you! Mine's about five minutes away but I'm not sure how the number of swimmers change through the seasons. I try not to go after work though. The instructor recommended against the 5-7 pm timeframe because there were just so many people in the pool! Still haven't seen it first hand. Being such a poor swimmer, I definitely wouldn't be able to share a lane properly or anything so I need a lot of space to myself

Being such a poor swimmer, I definitely wouldn't be able to share a lane properly or anything so I need a lot of space to myself Technically parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin are farther north than I am so you're imagination is right! lol My pools have limited lane swim times. Every morning for an hour and only twice a week in the evening, which is the only time I can go. So, it can get a little busy. I've been lucky and have only had to share a lane with a stranger once. I didn't last long, I found it uncomfortable. But I hope I can get to that point. You will too! Just imagine how much stronger we'll be in the pool 6 months from now!! Today will be a distant memory

From your lips to God's ears! And with that inspirational post from you I best get off my lazy butt and get off to work - albeit late...

Yes! swimming each morning is hard but worth it for less traffic and free breakfast! and the fitness yada yada.
I lost my 'fastest in the pool' crown this morning though. New lady who is a triathlete, came in and smoked everyone! so cool to watch!
I shall have to up my speed training! hehe1 -
