Heyhey! lfgss Cally Master's invasion! Excellent.
It's at Caledonian Rd pool on Caledonian Road. Thursday nights 8-9:30 pm. You're suppose dto join the Anaconda swimming club for £10 a year if you want to become a regular which i'm sure I will do.
Like many of you guys staving off boredom was my main reason for trying this. That and as my daily cycle commute practically vanished last year my regular exercise regime has massivley dwindled and as a result i'm getting thick round the middle again (love beer, love!).
After several years of plodding up and down on my own and occasionally ramping up the training for my annual 5k I didn't feel like i was really pushing myself. It's so hard to stay motivated to beat a time or whatever when you're just dodging splashy nodders in a public session. I usually get bored or frustrated after half an hour and get out so this has been a real eye opener. I'm amazed how much fun i'm having with it. They're a nice bunch too.
Can't make next week but will be back with knobs on the following week.
