A gentle lunchtime swim

Went to my second home that is Freyberg Pool at lunch (well late and pre-lunch as swimming and lunch don't really work...).

Focussed entirely on length and efficiency of my stroke and relaxing arms and shoulders to avoid fatigue which ends up in short, inefficient strokes. By the end of the session had number of strokes down to a tidy 26 per length with only the slightest push off at the end (honest ! Freyberg is a 33m pool). Length done in 35 secs wich would bring me in at a 17min 30sec kilometre.

Only challenge now is to sustain this for approx. 8 hours in the sea !!

I know there is room for improvement in the efficiency of my stroke.
