Little Nemo - slightly broken Sep 2013 8:46am, 12 Sep 2013 3,239 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo - slightly broken Just about on track, I have joined the big pack of us between 1 and 2 miles. I think I can do this so long as I manage 3 sessions a week.

rf_fozzy Sep 2013 8:13pm, 13 Sep 2013 5,380 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy My plans were scuppered by the fact the pool (and whole gym at the Uni) was closed today from 3pm and I didn't realise until I got down there at 6. No swimming for me today. Definitely, definitely Monday though. Maybe

Mrs Winkle Sep 2013 8:33pm, 13 Sep 2013 7,248 posts	Quote Pin Mrs Winkle Oh dear - been feeling run down so nothing until today, managed 600 metres. A truly pathetic start!
AngusClydesdale Sep 2013 11:01am, 14 Sep 2013 5,909 posts	Quote Pin AngusClydesdale Well done TM and MrsW. I had thought I might sea swim last night but couldn't find the energy after 2 busy night shifts. This morning I spent half an hour looking at the pool whilst ACjr did swim club, annoyed to find half the pool is now available to swim in at that time. My top tip today is always carry your bathers, you just never know! I am definitely swimming tomorrow. Oh yes. For sure.
