Back In The Swim

Cutting through the agonising pain in my arm I managed to get to the swimming pool in Clapham on my bike on Tuesday morning. It hurt so much that I honestly thought I might not be able to lower myself into the pool without crying out. Gritting my teeth, I simply got on with it and amazingly managed two miles. I was a little afraid that I may have done some serious damage but in actual fact, the exercise seems to have some it some good and I feel less need to use the pain killers.

So just as I am beginning to feel as if things may be going back to normal, I am advised by the staff in Clapham that the pool will be closing in early 2010! This means that Lambeth will no longer run a pool suitable for dedicated swimmers, (Brixton’s is a family pool only 25m in length and useless for lane-swimmers). Upping the ante, I guess I shall have to head to Crystal Palace of a morning – eeek!
