I am still diligently swimming twice a week and am noticing a positive change to my silhouette, not to mention my fitness. I managed to reach my goal which was to swim half a mile in half an hour. Then I hit a bit of a plateau. It wasn't getting any easier and I was getting a bit bored. So my swim buddy and I decided the new challenge is to swim three-quarters of a mile in 45 minutes. This equals 48 lengths. It also means that we can't waste time having a chat in between lengths!
My best-to-date is 40 lengths in 40 minutes, so watch this space. Ultimately, I want to be able to swim a mile (64 lengths) in an hour.
According to my swimming log, I am now 59% accross the Channel. Go me.
Oh, the thought of trying to get dry and then going out into the cold really puts me off swimming. Well done to you though, that is a good effort.
