Lido - 14 degs - thank goodness I'd bought a neoprene skull cap and socks, didn't stop the lifeguard (twice) and a lady without a wetsuit asking if I was alright. Always had problems with the cold - purple/white hands. 600m wu, including 2 x 150 in 3.09 which seemed far enough. Gave it one last go.

800m in 17.45. 4.19 -200, 6.35, 8.49 - 400m (pb), 11.05, 13.20, 15.35. Pleased to complete 800 and even more so the 100s from 200 to 700 were all at 2.15 pace.

C • Consistancy 3

Spectrum 25m - New teacher - lifting head too high and hip is also rotating too high causing legs to splay. Kick needs to be far stronger too. Plenty to work on and explains why b/l breathing has helped speed, but without directly addressing the cause.

SSP 50m - calf a lot better so only 25% with pb. In mixed ability fast lane again, not sure what the etiquette is when the swimmer behind taps your feet, but it seemed to work at the turn when they tumble turned past without collision. Finished with 2 x 100 in 2.15, 15s slower than in a wetsuit.

PLP (25m) - calf still aggravated from last week, so did 50s with pb. Late evening, quite chaotic and ended up in fast lane.
