The alma mater's new pool opened today, so in I went. Nice locker room, pretty pool (with lots of natural light from large windows up high - I could see the partly cloudy skies every so often), cold water (hurray!), what a deal.
The pool is 30 meters long and has a moveable bulkhead that cordons off a 25-yard portion and leaves a smaller pool for people who like that sort of thing to swim crosswise in. I grabbed a lane and dusted off the nearly two-week layoff with no problem. I figured what the hell and did 2,900 yards. Easy breezy, and I'm not too congested yet, either.
The lunch hour swim (which I was in for) is an hour and a half, so I guess the time restriction makes my old 2 mph goal a little unnecessary. I figure 3,600 yards is what I'll shoot for, and maybe that will wind up being doable in 6o minutes...
Anyway, a farewell to decongestants would be a huge plus, as would dumping the $36.50 or whatever the Y requires each month. Money's not that plentiful, for christ's sake.
