Today I have been swimming 2 km
Mar. 5th, 2009 09:45 pmI decided to start counting how long I swim just so I know and can see if I'm improving from time to time. I swam for one hour today and I swam exactly 80 lenghts in a 25 meter long swimming pool. At least I think it was 80 lenghts, sometimes I got a bit unsure if I was counting right. I swimmed in a quite normal pace I thought. I could had gone much faster, but not much slower. I don't like swimming slowly and I had to pass a lot of swimmers. There were few people who swam faster then me. Probably only one guy who swum too fast thinking of the surrounding people... got some splashes on me there... But it is mostly annoying that the people stops you up. I could had managed to swim longer if it had been fewer people there so I could had swum faster. But at the same time you have something to look at while you swim. There are all kinds of people there, from young girls to old men and women. But fortunately most people seem to be around my age. Otherwise I guess I would had been standing still in the swimming pool.... But I still think that people seems so unserious about their swimming. Not that they have to be, it is up to them... but you are supposed to go there to swim... it ain't called excersise swimming for nothing... There are always guys there who doesn't seem serious at all with their swimming... they play around, try to dive or just stands and talk and when they swim properly they are so slow that they are mostly in the way... I almost frontal crashed with a guy today because he dived right in my direction and I didn't notice and then he popped up right in front of me.... could had gone bad but luckely I had time to swim aside. His friend laughed at him for diving in the oposite direction of the swimmers... well his friend were right, he shouldn't had done that... but oh well. I wasn't surprised. It was fun swimming anyway.
