    Mine's been closed for the year. Now they're saying outdoor city pools will open for lessons, lap swims, cardio classes and free swim. HUH? All of the people who were using primarily indoor pools are getting to use outdoor pools for 3 months? I wish the city would figure out a way to create some system. I too, am a grumpy swimmer (or non-swimmer, as it is...)

    Mine is open from tomorrow. 45 mins only though, so doubt I'll hit a mile for a while (especially after 4 months off)

    Actually.... 1375m in 35 mins... so a 45 min mile is within my capacity it seems. Haven't lost as much swim fitness as I thought!

    Feeling 'blurgh' today, so whilst I hopped over to the fast lane and busted a gut doing so, I only lasted 30 mins with about (edited - apparently it was 4 mins rather than the originally estimated) 2 mins of that resting (aka getting out of the way of the faster swimmers!) - so 1.1k FC.

    Been swimming regularly since last post. Yesterday was a first go out with my 'toys'. Apparently, I'm not allowed to use paddles and fins in the pool as they're plastic and could scratch people... so that was frustrating. I was allowed to continue using my pull bouy, so used it for both kick and pull drills.
    Today I moved from the medium to the fast lane. I am defo in the right lane in that I'm much faster than those in the medium lane, but don't have the endurance of the fast... so I spent a lot of time waiting at the end of the row, getting my breath back and then trailing the guy in front for 100m of so before taking another breather. Felt like I had a 20 a day habit though... so I guess this is something to work on (after a day off pool stuff!)
    Oh, and had my first OW swim last Friday and going again this Friday. I'm treating this as incidental to my pool swimming regime as it's a slow b/s chatting to a friend and only about 600m - so more a recovery swim! So this week I'll do two more fast lane swims including on Friday morning, before hitting the lake in the afternoon.
    Hope everyone else is having some great swims.
