Swimming: Days 1 and 2

Yesterday I started my membership at a place with a 24/7 indoor lap pool. Heaven on earth.

I managed to struggle through 5 x 50 meter laps (250 meters) yesterday, taking frequent breaks. This evening I did 8 x 50 meter laps (400 meters) with much less effort, but still I took those frequent breaks. One mile is going to require thirty-two laps; so I still have a long ways to go. I'll start focussing on time after I can do the entire mile.

However, given my current rate of progress, I'll be swimming many miles per day by the end of the month. See my-new-favorite-xkcd for more information.
