swimming 101

if you're attempting to do lap swimming,
and you've never done it before,
here are some tips to save urself and the others around you some physical damage.

1. lap swimming is done in a circuit
- you go out on the left, turn at the middle of the wall, and come back in on the right of the lane

2. make way for incoming swimmers if you're resting at the wall

3. stick to your side of the lane,
the lane is wide enough to accommodate two swimmers in opposite directions

4. never never attempt to swap lanes abruptly to make way when u see the swimmer in front of you making a turn
-you'll cause a massive collisions, just stick to your lane

i got kicked in the face (hard) and rammed into by 2 other swimmers today
obviously they were relatively new to lap swimming.
pulled off a 2km effort at the pool.
well done to me.
terribly unfit, i cramped at an attempt to do a sprint as well.
ouch, miss cramps.
good excuse to escape a few torturous sprints back in the good old training days.
hahaha.
2.1 km on the next swim.

feeling awfully glum now.
rejection hurts.
good for studying tho i must say.
don't feel like talking to anyone.
just mind my own business, shut every msn window and read lecture after lecture.
lonely, yes, but oh well,
all in all i need to study for this paper.
