Taz's diary - Need to do this!

[Taz]

Awww thats really special Jim.

Morning all, went for a swim this morning but it was a little annoying as there were loads of slow swimmers in the fast lane

 

[Jim]

Don't they reserve lanes for proper swimmers any more taz?

 

[Taz]

There are 6 lanes Jim, 2 slow lanes, 2 medium lanes and 2 fast lanes. I go in the medium as I am not as fast as the power swimmers who dominate the fast lanes. The slow lanes are a steady pace for those not so strong. The medium lanes are for the inbetweeners. What should happen is you assess the speed of the lanes and use the one that best suits you. The medium lane rules are simple: You have to swim faster than those in the slow lane and slower than those in the fast lane! Just lately though there seems to be people in there who are slower than the slow lane!

 

[Jim]

Gotcha Taz, I used to hate the people who were swimming widths when I wanted to do lengths.

 

[Taz]

Oh they annoy me too Jim!

 

[Gemstone]

I hate the back stroke swimmers who flail around and have no idea where they are going and who they are hitting. A few times I've had someone catch up with me and land on my back (not good when you're swimming to relieve back pain!) x

 

[Taz]

I do backstroke

 

[Gemstone]

But do you mow people down Taz? x

 

[Taz]

No, I do alternate back and front. I do backstroke towards the deep end so I can see exactly who is ahead and how far with no chance of surprise additions! It's the breast-strokers that are a pain in the arse. Their legs kick out from thier lane into the next, I have gained many an injury from these!

 

[Gemstone]

I'm a breast stroker (that sounds wrong ) but I don't injure folk x

 

[Taz]

Some people just don't think

 

[coachnomad]

Hi Taz, yes slow swimmers in the wrong lane are very annoying and I've been kicked in the chest a couple of times by breast strokers, although they're not meant to do it literally!!!!!

As soon as I have got rid of this cold, I must get back in the pool. I haven't done a proper distance for some months.

 

[Taz]

I am aiming for twice a week, even if it's not the full 4km

 

[Gemstone]

You're a glutton for punishment x

 

[Taz]

Why's that Gem?

 

[Gemstone]

:mermaid: x

 

[Taz]

Morning all. I am off to work in a mo. I agreed to some rest day work totally forgetting that I had another appointment today so I had to change todays appointment to tomorrow. Grrrrr

 

[Gemstone]

Morning Taz. That's pants - it's good to agree to help on the spur of the moment, shows you are flexible but sometimes it backfires doesn't it x

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz, not good love, ah well.

 

[coachnomad]

Hi Taz, hope you okay and you have a good day x
