Ah ah Ah!! You didn't say the magic word!

Thank the good Speedo Lord for Aquablade Hydroshorts!!!

I swam 2 kilometres in 46 minutes this week!! An average of 23 minutes per kilometre, which puts me in group 2, one up from scenic swimmers!! The greatly reduced resistance compared with my old swimshorts mean that the Hydroshorts have improved my stroke!!! I feel like I position my body flatter in the water and time my leg and arm strokes more efficiently, because I no longer just fight against the drag, which is what I was doing before the advent of Aquablade technology!!!

When Seb and I did our weekly "Lung capacity improvement training" this week (which involves staying stationary underwater for as long as possible), we both achieved vastly improved lengths of time underwater compared with previous weeks. In fact, because we both did it at the same time, and we were the last people in the pool, the lifeguards came over to check that we weren't taking part in a collaborative suicide attempt. When I surfaced after a minute and 2 seconds, and Seb surfaced three seconds later, The lifeguard came over to us and said "I was getting worried about you!". We waited until we were in the changing room before we high-fived our success...

Anyway, here's a limerick I like:

As they fished his old plane from the sea,
The inventor just chortled with glee,
"I shall build" and he laughed,
"A submarine craft,
And perhaps it will fly, we shall see."
