I know. It's hardly worth a blog post. But it's big for me.I love exercise and go to the gym a few times each week but for some reason the pool always has me feeling a bit inhibited. Maybe it's just the idea of getting into bathers.
Anyway, I've injured my knee so for the time being, I'm restricted in what I can do in the gym and Meg and I go together so I had time to kill and figured a swim might be nice.
The pool is around 30C and there's barely a soul around first thing in the morning. I had a lane to myself and no one to watch me as I remembered my strokes.
The girl in the next lane was swimming backstoke and I wondered if I could give it a go without embarrassing myself. I tried. It was lovely.
The sound of the water is more evident when you swim on your back. The pool is indoors with a glass ceiling so there I was swimming in warm water, watching the clouds go by on a brisk autumn morning. What a beautiful way to begin my day.

I love excercise too and I often wonder how I would cope with a bad knee? The swimming sounds wonderful but as a runner I swim like a log. So well done...You have a great blog...
aww, i can feel your self satisfaction right through the computer screen! good for you.
do you think it counts if i float in the hottub? :)
Cate - thanks for dropping by. I actually swim a bit like a log too...I take my hat off to swimmers, it's much more strenuous than it looks.
kj- ha ha. They have a beautiful hot tub next to the pool and that's my treat afterwards!
Kate that sounds wonderful. Good for you.
Love Renee xoxo
Hi Kate,
My mum said if she didn't know any better she would have sworn I was born underwater.
I have always loved swimming and the silence of underwater even more so.
I found an outdoor pool and was there nearly everyday this past summer.
Place me in water and I feel right at home!
I'm glad you enjoyed the swim....
