Ye gods - you intend to say you swim 100 m in 1.20?



Want to know what it looks like in our city pool?

4 - 50m lanes. On any given night, 1-2 lanes are taken up by classes, masters, police squad, life guards-in-training, aqua fit, synchronous swimmers.
Then there is the 5th, broad lane with everyone going in whatever direction, aqua joggers, people stroll-swimming while gossiping and taking extended rests on the walls.

Monday it was 3 out of 4 lanes blocked....
Lane 4 was shared by an average of 10 swimmers going in circles. That’s what I deal with. After 8pm another lane opened up for tempo swimmers. That's why I joined the tri club, to have a lane of our own, but that's in a 25m pool out in the suburbs.

At least they are open now until 10.30 pm. Not that I ever go so late.
