    1 km Free 35 Mins.
    First day back in the pool after a one month Maintenance turn around. Water was a tad warm for a distance swim.

    finding new pool a bit of a struggle mentally tbh.
    in smaller 12 m pool, obviously had more breathers tween lengths and push- offs eating up way more distance.
    however,will push through.
    today i did 1km free with a few breast recovery lengths (1 in 8/10) then pushed on to a metric mile doing same.
    sat in car now typing and shaking from effort.
    will build up daily and due to start strength training next week.i feel a tad weaker with all the weight and some muscle loss inevetably.
    thanks all for the follow-ups and support.

    CW - that's brilliant. Just keep at it and before long you'll be wanting to try out a 50m pool! I use a 20m pool and wish it was bigger, but that would mean leaving my nice, plush gym with great showers and free towels to go to the local leisure centre without those amenities. Plus, I did the math and the amount I swim makes the private gym cheaper than the public one, after factoring in travel time and costs plus the extra washing of all those towels :)

    Thanks! Having a stop watch has helped and missing the mid week gym session probably helped some too!

    Finally back swimming after a 2 month hiatus.
    However my sprained ankle is still giving me trouble when kicking. I am hoping someone here knows if/where I can buy a waterproof brace or some sort of support for my ankle.

    Welcome back, Ashen - sorry to hear you're having trouble with the ankle. What about wrapping it in an Ace bandage? I imagine that would dry pretty quickly once you're done with your workout....
