For my first time swimming on Saturday I decided to try out the Cardiff International Pool. It was awesome! Swimming in a 50m pool, gave a more realistic feel of swimming in open water, especially as the depth is 2m all across! I think I'll be going there for my Saturday swims and I think I've managed to convince my girlfriend Louise to come with me. So we can have a workout in the 50m pool and have go on the slides afterwards! :)

Might even be able to do another training session in the week, if Lou is up for it.

I impressed myself doing one length in 21 strokes, I didn't just coast along using only my feet, but I felt a real rhythm of doing my strokes, catching the acceleration through the water and before I knew it I was touching the other side of the pool. Such a good feeling!
