Early morning swim was busy. Plenty of waves and turbulence as too many people squeezed into the fast lane so my 1st 600 m was done in a record time. This might sound good but it made the other two more difficult as you are meant to start off slower.
Swimming isn't that sociable however during the short breathers between laps it's great listening to, and joining in with, the group of 70 year olds that are there every day doing between 800m and 1,500m - good on them, what an example to the couch potatoes. To these guys it's a way of life and a great way of staying fit and keeping in touch - I am full of admiration for them and hope if I reach that age I can swim as well as they do. I will miss them when I go back to the 50m pool at Tollcross which is better for my swimming.
