1. I’ve been swimming for over 30 years. Off & on but when you discover early what works for your body, your body also adapts to the activity a lot better & it’s easier to pick it back up even after a break.

2. The pool I currently swim in, is 25m (not 50m like a more professional pool). It is still called a lap because that’s just an unbroken swim from one end to another. I like this pool because unlike others, they keep the lanes clear even in crowded times. Makes a big difference.
