Well that was better than expected. Did 1600m in the end at about 2:00/100m. First 20 strokes felt great but then reality of no swimming for 5 months hit and arms/shoulders let me know I had no stamina.
Never seen the pool so clean. Staff were great. One way system worked well. 3 big wide lanes, about 20 people in total and only 4 of us in the fast lane and overtaking was easy when necessary.
Will look at my plan/calendar and book a load more sessions.
Had booked a gym slot afterwards and did a ramp test on one of the Wattbikes. Yet to look at the results but I don't think it'll be much different to pre-lockdown (I've done 6km of riding since March), which shows how shit my fitness was back then too.
