Poolside Percy

Water temperature: 19 degrees Another after work swim. Despite a lovely sunny afternoon (after this morning's downpour), The Lido was pretty deserted. Slowly getting reacclimatised to English outdoor swimming. Swam 22 lengths before we were kicked out at 6:30pm. Lost my Zoggs case. Odd.

Water temperature: 19 degrees After work swim. Sun came out to join me. Swam 20 very industrious and enjoyable lengths. Summer aint over till it's over. Cycled to Angela's for veggie pilaff etc.

Water temperature: 20 degrees Comeback swim after three weeks in Spain. Obviously I was very concerned about how cold the water would be. Survived and swam five lazy lengths.

Score: ۞۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ http://g.co/maps/8dha Very hot day in Spain. Needed a cool swim after three days of hanging out with Reckless Rachel in the soupy seas. Walked straight in unchallenged so had nada to pay. I thought it would be hot under the glass ceiling but the water was cooler than the sea. Few kids playing waterpolo, an exercise class and a semi-serious swimming hombre. I swam a very leisurely 40 lengths. Horrified at the hot showers, that was the last thing I needed. Sweated and dripped back to Rachel's for wild salmon and spaghetti. Home tomorrow.

Oh my word. Awesome. Swam to the middle on my own. Outdoor swimming or what. Water was lovely, must have been 23 degrees. Driven here by the son of the guy who built this dam. Honoured. View Untitled in a larger map

Piscina Municipal En Castelldefels Swam about 60 lengths before I realised I had an appointment at the beach...

Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc, Barcelona Score: ۞۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ ۞ Wow. This place is the coolest. Outdoor Olympic diving and swimming pool with a birds-eye view of Barcelona.
