I got in the lido at london fields at 6:30am the other day. The first time I've been in a pool in about 15 years. Christ, it shows...
Toying with lessons as I'd love to take it up seriously. I could do about a half a length of very sloppy front crawl or two lengths of fairly pacey backstroke (legs only, no arms) before cramp set in (shoulders - front crawl, calfs - backstroke).
On the plus side I didn't drown. Every cloud.
