I'm sorry, I just had to use that pun.
It's time for me to start swimming.
I am going for the first time tomorrow morning.
I have reached this decision for a number of reasons:
At some stage I rashly said I would start swimming when I was under 100kg;
I had a programme review with my trainer chap this morning. He tortured me and I don't feel like the gym tomorrow;
Just over 4 months till the triathlon - I'd better find out if I can remember how to swim and book some lessons;
I've got to do it some time!
So, this morning, I bought a swim cap. It's not a gorgeous one like M found.
But it is red, so I'll swim faster.

splash splash so envy u being able to go to the pool ours doesn't even open until Labour weekend then it will take a good while for it to warm up. I am planning a trip to the pool when I go out of town again for the day on Tuesday next week.
Lucky you got a red one, they definitely make you go faster like you said! :)
Yay for swimming! :)
Good on you! I tried swimming lessons but I think I ended up drinking half the pool - well that's what it felt like! Think I will stick to aqua sessions.
Oooh, I love swimming when I actually make the effort to get out there and do it!
Please keep me posted on how you go! I reeeally hope you enjoy it. And you can always enlist that son of your to help with technique and stuff... surely he'd be a bit of a swimmer?
They say that in a competition the side that wears red is more likely to win... good decision on the colour, look out other triathletes!
Good on you for taking the plunge - hope you enjoyed it:)
Getting in the pool sux, but once you're in it's great!
I love aqua jogging. Tell ya why. Cause I wear glasses, one early morning on my way back to the changing room I miscalculated the wrong door. Ended up in the mens changing room. Didn't realise my mistake till I left the booth. By which time my glasses were back on my head. Too scared to show my face there for six months. Now aqua jogging - I wear my glasses in the pool. Happy swimtime. It's a brilliant way to tone.
RED will definately make you go faster. You are very brave. You do realise that I have followed your trend in going to gym and now I will need to think about swimming, in summer of course. Gee Sue the things you inspire me to try!!!
LOL yep, red sure does make you go faster! That's what we always say in my house when we wear red knickers ;-)
So how's the swimming going? Actually..I think I see the heading of the next post. Will go find out.
LOL that is hilarious. You go girl. :)
