Really been enjoying this swimming thread but their are a few things wrong with it;
Numerous disparaging remarks about "mister macho-splashy-man". There is a big chance these people are waterpolo players. Swimming with a ball requires a shorter stroke which produces more splash.
Also the knowledge of London pools is ropey at best. The Shell building has a 33m pool, Parliament Hill lido is a massive 60m (unheated) and even St. Georges Pool by is 25m.
If you want to have some proper fun in a pool ditch the "zen" swimming and start playing polo. Nothing beats sprinting for the ball against another swimmer and being able to give them cheeky elbow while you're doing it.
