A Tale of Five Stones Too Many

I’ve started attending the ‘early risers’ swimming at my local pool and I’m working on getting my lengths in. When I was at school I was on the swimming team, even though I wasn’t at all skinny (this might explain why our swimming teams wasn’t so great…) however I was quite able to do 100 lengths in 1 hours, now our school pool was only 20m long so that = 2000m. The pool I’m going to is the more classic 25m, so to do the same distance will be 80 lengths. My starting number of lengths is 50, which I’m fairly satisfied with, especially as I only swam for 40-45mins. I can’t foresee any problem with adding an extra 5 lengths per session, if not more. Ideally I’d like to improve on 2000m I used to do in school.

So I’m going to keep log of how many lengths I do per session. I’m aiming to go 3 times a week, so in theory I should be swimming 80 lengths in…. 3 weeks time, which will be Friday the 24th of July.

Oh how fun, I’ve never set myself an exercise goal before!

I think I’ll start a new page to record my progress.

Secretly I’m aiming to a 100 lengths but I thought I would start small
