Yesterday I woke up with this spontaneous urge to go swimming after going past the pool when attending my pilates classes the other week. I haven't been swimming in ages which is surprising as I love it so much, so I gathered my swimming gear and drove over to the Sunderland Aquatic Centre to do so.
I managed to swim 42 lengths of the 50m olympic swimming pool in 2 hours which I thought wasn't bad for the £3.70 that I paid to get in. I felt I got my money's worth.
I found it incredibly relaxing when doing the lengths of the pool. I thoroughly enjoy visiting the Aquatic Centre as its one of the few places where I can completely switch off, no screens and let my mind wander. In fact, it was on this very swim that I decided on how I was planning to launch this blog!
