Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

How was your swim today?

Gosfield. 1,500m there or there abouts. At one point it felt like I had the lake to myself, so took my goggles off and plodged. Lovely.

mine went well for me

400m warm up
500m frontcrawl cruise pace to get times (everyone else did 32 lengths but too ambitious & i stopped at 20)
4 x 100m frontcrawl getting quicker - mine were 2:30, 2:20, 2:15, 2:01
50m kick
50m breast stroke

Plodge. Head up, the swimming equivalent of 'sauntering' or 'ambling'/

Nice thread Greg :)

My swim was fab, as always! And after my mile tomorrow morning I will have logged 100 miles so far this year on Fetch. It is, however, much harder to get up for 7am swim when it's summer holidays and I don't have to go to work though:(

My swim was flipping terrible. For some reason, the signs denoting the lanes as slow, medium and fast hadn't been put out tonight. Cue me and a few others trying to plough up and down (in the lane that's usually fast) while some old chap swam a leisurely breaststroke. There were too many people in the lane to be able to overtake him, so I gave up!

That's really annoying - did you get lane rage and storm off in a huff?

Not quite, Hepburn. I just sort of sloped off while this man continued his plodge.
