it's not a full size pool
private one. it equates to somewhere between 35 and 40 lengths of a standard pool I think

I can manage about eight to ten lengths of a normal sized council-issue pool
I'm not a great swimmer. i only learned when I was about 15, and I have a pathalogical fear of getting water on my face, which doesn't help.

that wouldn't help
it's about the only cardio type exercise that I don't find tremendously boring, also it helps for surfing which is a bonus

woo, I feel big and clever
I once did 100 lengths in an olympic size pool. Made about £60 for some charity

I didn't mean woo you don't like swimming, btw, more woo you learnt to swim despite being scared.

when my granddaughter was about eight or nine
she swam two kilometers or something horrific and got a badge or whatever.

EDIT: but woo to you also. That's quite some fucking accomplishment.
