A lady had dropped her locker key in the deep end of the pool this morning, she spoke to one of the life gaurds who called up to get assistance.
I answered that call and collected them off the bottom for her. 3.2m deep. Haven't done that since I was 14 in Corby pool on a lifesaver course.
Not only that, I recorded my best 100m, 400m and 500m swims! Maybe that South African ex swim coach knew something.
For the record
Distance Time Beat the previous record by
100m 1m43s 2s
400m 8m17s 9s
500m 10m0s 28s
As a 45 year old man swimming 500m this puts me in between Intermediate and Advanced! Better than 54% of male swimmers my age. It's still and improvement though, and even better continued improvement.
My 100m pace is better, in fact better than 68% of male swimmers my age, but it's always going to be that way, I wasn't built for distance. Or as Gimli from the Lord of the Rings might say.
"I'm wasted on Cross Country, We dwarves are natural sprinters. very dangerous over short distances."
