Another visit to the public baths tonight, this time for about 55 minutes. It would have been longer but they don’t start selling tickets until a nanosecond before the session starts.
I discovered that the others don’t swim as fast as they make out, only terrorising me when I’m cruising with my unusual breast stroke. If I summon up enough energy to crawl along the pool, I end up peddling backward half way down for fear of chewing their toes.
There was an amusing moment when a large guy did a seated belly flop into the pool, swamping a girl nearing the end of the lane. Her head completely disappeared under the bow wave… she must have swallowed the whole lot! And the water didn’t taste too great either… I inadvertently tried some before I finished the session.
You don’t get this malarkey when you’re running! Not sure whether that’s a good thing or not!
