Distance: 1km
Crawl: 40 lengths
Wanting to beat the distance I swam last week, I made sure I was at the pool earlier again today. I was in the pool at 7.22pm - giving me just 38 minutes before the aqua class to get in at least 33 lengths. Not a problem, I average about 1 length per minute, including the rest at the end. Having never learned how to turn - I just take a quick breather before setting off again.
I reached 20 lengths in just under 20 minutes, so was on plan to make at least 36 or 38, though 40 would be a bit of a squeeze. However, someone else joined the "fast" lane, and she was going just a bit faster than me, so I had to cut down the dawdling at the ends, and keep swimming back & forth to keep out of her way. This was perfect for me! Again, I've benefited from a pacemaker, and completed 38 lengths with 5 minutes to spare, giving me the chance to sprint the last two. And I wasn't even tired at the end!
