So I'm back at Tadley pool for a swim and I have decided to try and swim 30 lengths without stopping. This is how many I will have to swim on the big day. Granted it will be very different, it will be in a lake, with 49 other guys wrestling to get in front. Darran was up with me and brought his float as he needed to concentrate on improving his kicking. I chose the fast lane which only had the one swimmer in and went for it.
I decided that I wouldn't count each one as I reached the end but would count every two. The first 5 (10) went well. I think I lost count but as I hit 10 (20 lengths) I was feeling OK. My goggles are rubbish, only 1.99 from Soccer Sport in town. Must get some new ones. They kept letting water in which didn't make the last 5 (10) much fun. As I hit the 30th length I checked the time and I think I did the whole thing in about 15 mins.. Not sure. Will time next week. I think I need to be pushing for a much quicker time than that.
Had a 2-3 min rest and then did another 10 lengths.. All in all a good night for swimming, Think I might join that pool. Only £16 per month.
