I’m doing what?

Swimming! Yes, I’m swimming. wow, I can’t believe it to be honest. I’m now at a point where I can put on a swimming cozzy  and brave the walk from the changing room to the pool without dying inside.

My friend has inspired me to do it. She has started swimming and we chatted about it and I was so so proud of her and I thought, well, I really should do some swimming myself. It’s low impact so won’t damage any joints that are already a bit dodgy, it burns a lot of calories for a relatively small amount of time and I actually enjoy swimming. It’s the getting out and getting dried and dressed again that I dislike. But it’s not so bad at this pool, they have radio music playing in the changing room and so I sing in my head while getting dried and that’s fine. It was very amusing when the lady in the next cubicle started singing along.. except she was singing a different song enitrely, but in time with the one playing. I managed to control my giggles somehow.

I’ve been today for the second time this week and managed 30 lengths (750 metres) in 40 minutes. I was really pleased with myself for that. I did 20 lengths in 40 minutes  on Wednesday.  The pool is closed for maintenance next week though.. grrrrrr. I’ll have to find a different pool to go to. I’m aiming for three times a week.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m enjoying exercising! wow… lol
