I’ve finally got back to swimming since moving to East Ham, having a 25m pool 10 minutes walk for home. However 2020 Covid shutdown, then 2021 social distancing (one lane = one swimmer only) and pre-booking through on-line app was a nightmare and oversubscribed.
Things eased up last year, these days I swim three times a week. I keep my stroke relatively slow, just focus on breathing and improving my technique, doing the occasional one lap front crawl.
My target is to swim for one hour without a break, replacing breast stroke with more front crawl. I struggle counting laps, I guess at some point I might get a swim watch to record distances, we will see.
Glad to see this thread has loads of tips / advice :)
