Swimathon

[Croydonbloke]

I am once again taking part in the Swimathon in aid of Marie Curie.

Swimming 200 Lengths = 5K and hoping for a time of 1hr 40min.

Anyone else taking part in this at their local pool?

I have previously done the 2.5K but upped the challenge this year.

You lazy toe rags. Get yourselves fit for crying out load!!!!!

Doing a 10k run next Sunday and been going to the gym 6 days a week since November. I'm trying my best master! Good luck on your swimathon. I'm going home for a wankathon.

1hr 28mins, get in there. Very pleased and raised £1200.00 for Marie Curie. Totally unexpected time I must say.

Well done.

I did one 3 years back on my own. 200 lengths of my local pool. Was totally knackered at the end.

Not feeling too bad today. What time did you do?

Well done. Impressive time and £1200 is also a very impressive amount of money. Puts my amount to shame. If we get organised for next year, I’m sure we could arrange a sweepstake on here for a bit of extra cash. I will be doing it again I’m sure.

The times for the swimathon are always a bit strange. This year the powers that be put me in a lane with 3 people doing breaststroke. Makes it impossible to get any rhythm going and you get more tired with the constant stopping and starting. The last 4 times I’ve done have been in 1hr 28, 1hr 30, 1hr 21 and 1hr 34min. Work that out!

Last year I did 2.5K in 52mins but I have trained hard this year and did 2.5k in 43min yesterday. I had two 2 kids in my lane last year and over took them every 4 lengths or so and they were a pain in the backside. Yesterday I was lucky to swim with two other blokes of similar standard and we arranged an overtaking procedure out beforehand. It would be good again next year and I hope to train even harder again!!!!!!!! 1hr 21 is very good going. I reckon I clould have done 1hr 25 yeseterday if my goggles did not fill up every 20 or so lengths.

Around 1 hr 40 mins if I remember. I have a certificate at home somewhere with the exact time.
