Back in the swim of things

Back in the pool today for the first time in years.

Pool opens at 6:30 so it was up at 6:00 and out the door at 6:15. This got me in the pool at 6:40, which is really rather painless considering!

For the first session I just wanted to get a feel of the pool and also get a feel for how my swimming is at the moment, being very untrained at the moment.

The aim was to get a feel for my balance in the water and to concentrate on swimming "long" in terms of keeping a long body line .
Set:
100
200
400
100 pull
400
200 pull
100

Which is a handy 1500m total.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well I faired and the fact that I had not completely forgotten how to swim. Felt tired later but not knackered, as I had feared.
