While swimming at the Z center last Monday, I discovered that swimming
pool in the Z center is now configured as a 50m pool in the summer. The
staff moved the movable boom that usually divides the pool into several
more 25m lanes.
Swimming in a 50m pool presents its own challenges. In particular, one
needs to settle into rhythmic yet relaxed strokes in the 50m pool than
one does with the 25m pool. Unlike last Monday when I was all
out-of-sync, I settled into my strokes earlier today and was able to
swim for 900m. I did cheat by putting on a pair of fins in my last 4
laps. However, I have to confess that I love the fins. Swimming with
fins is not only effortless but also quite exhilarating because you go
really fast with them.
