Swimming

Actually made it to the pool this week. Here's a summary of my trip:

• Time taken to get there: 20mins - there are roadworks in the way grr!
• Price: £2 - cheaper than expected hurrah
• Lockers 20p - have to go back to reception to get 20 pence piece
• Make sure take out goggles and towel from bag before putting everything in locker
• Lock the non-refundable locker
• Turn round to pick up goggles and realise have put them back into the locker grr!
• Decide don't want to go back to reception for another 20p so go in without goggles
• Find pool is fairly empty and has 4 lanes available
• Water is colder than expected
• Realise water is 6ft deep all the way along but find ledges at the ends to stand on
• Swim 12 lengths (600 meters) less than normal but can't swim properly because of lack of goggles
• Get out of pool and head back to changing room down scary slippery stair case
• Have shower without shampoo which is still in the locker, shower is also very strong so a bit painful
• Find that there are individual chaging cubicles so decide to go in one - much better than the group ones we had to go in when we came with school
• Find cubicle door doesn't actually shut but it does stay kinda closed so get changed in there anyway
• Drive back home via roadworks

So I give my trip a 5/10 next time I will take 20p with me and make sure to not lock my googles in and also take out my shampoo.
