10k in the Olympic Pool.
Did 1k tonight and didn't feel too bad, could easily have done more but it was the end of the session and everyone was being kicked out. Will see how far I can go on Wednesday morning if/when I have time for another swim, will be happy with 1.6k I guess.
Yeah, 19 weeks is loads, am hoping to lose ~10kg in that time too which would make quite a bit of difference. I've got until the 21st to use my free entry for the 10k swim so I'll leave it a couple of weeks and see if I can keep up the regular visits to the pool and keep upping the distance.
The 10k can't be any worse than the Swim Serpentine Super 6 mile swim, although I did swear I'd never do that again.

Gah, offer from deferred place from Marathon Swims (10k) in 2020 has just come through. Can I get 10k swim fit by November 12th? (Starting from almost nothing as above.) Hmm.
Would really like to do it, the one year I did do it (2019?) I was recovering from a chest infection and bailed after 1km as I felt awful. 2020 was cancelled because of Covid and they didn't even try to put it on in 2021.
