Hello Internet people,
So, I would post something interesting, however, TML's blog (http://tmlsblog.blogspot.com/) got me to forget my topic. I apologize.
Due to my memory loss, I will open the comments to any suggestions that you may want me to write about. Just remember it has to be appropriate.
Well, for now, I'm just going to continue talking about swimming pools.
So the place I swim used to just have "Slow", "Medium", and "Fast" lanes. Now they made it "Medium, Slow", "Medium, Fast" which sucks on my end and I'll tell you why.
I swim slowly when I swim constantly, which I don't. I swim fast when I swim once, then rest. I swim in between fast and medium at my regular pace. The "Medium, Slow" lane is filled with people who swim as fast as turtles on land. The "Medium, Fast" lane is filled with people who swim as fast as turtles in water. There's no "Medium Fast" where I belong, so I'm stuck with either swimming behind some slowpoke, or getting pushed back by the second Michael Phelps.
The only other thing I don't like would be the water. The temperature has probably been lowered by 10 degrees. It only feels right after 5-10 minutes in the pool.
That's all my complaints about that particular swimming pool. So, tell me about your experiences with swimming pools.
Thanks for reading,

Do what I do: swim laps in the children's pool, which is usually deserted at times. Otherwise, ignore the signs and just go to the lane with, what you think, has swimmers at your speed.
ReplyDeleteOf course, these solutions require a certain situation. If none of these are present, do what I do:
Move to the other side of the lane if there aren't many people (if you're behind a slow person), pass him, and stay ahead of him.
Wait for Michael Phelps to go before you do when you're waiting at the edge of the pool.
I've seen this done and I've done it before, but nobody minds. After all, people accept the speed they are at. A word of caution, though. Do not move to the other side of the pool when there are a lot of people. It'll be total chaos if that happens.
About the temperature. I once took minutes slowly entering the water, but now, I just jump in (don't dive), and immediately start. At first it's "Holy carp! Who heats this water?" and you'll get used to it much faster than if you were to slip in painfully slow.
Thanks for the advice. I will take it in to account next time.
