I must say that this morning's early swim session was amazing. The two worst offenders for ignoring pool etiquette were not present for some reason, and amazingly, the 'swim anti-clockwise' rule worked very very well. I got a further 54 lengths in within a decent time and without any stress. The pool was still pretty busy but if we all follow the rule and swim at a similar speed, we don't get in anyone else's way.Weather report says it'll be 8 degrees celsius today, it certainly didn't feel anywhere near that temperature when I left the house, or when I came into work - still, we might see an improvement yet. We didn't have to scrape ice off the cars this morning so that's always a bonus.
I've printed off a map of the Channel and stuck it up on a corkboard in my office and take GREAT delight moving the pin every time I've done more lengths. So far, I've covered just over 9 miles, or 40% of the distance (until I move the pin again after my lunchtime swim!)
