Thursday morning I didn't need to be in work until 9, so I made use of the time and headed out to the new pool in Morley. I hadn't swam properly for ages and thought that this would we an easy way to fit some swimming in before work.
The leisure centre has been rebuilt now so it was all shiny and new and even at 730 in the morning was being well used. A few things to get used to, like the unisex changing rooms, obviously saves space and if you want a bit of privacy then you use a cubicle! and they have introduced a baby pool... not something that I will be using to do miles though, that would be a lot of turning around!
I managed to find a lane that wasn't too full and go into the rhythm. I always find it weird swimming in lanes as you have to fit in with everyone else speed and not your own natural speed. After about half an hour though it pool cleared so there was only me and one other in my lane.... time to pick up the pace. I have no idea how long it took me to do the mile, as the clock is not the best...but I finished, showered, dressed and was at work on time.... so it was all good!
