So far so swimmingly .....

One of the total joys of my life - outdoor swimming.
I swim outdoors between April and October three times a week and this is the pool that I swim in and the second year that I have been member here.
I have been coming here since I was a child and not much has changed which I love.
It has a real 1970's feel about it which I totally adore.
The water is warm and on cold mornings, steams away giving this serene and ethereal feeling.
We are coming to the end of the season and I just can't face going back to an inside pool. Maybe I need to build one in the back of my garden! Or take up sea swimming.
I do most of my work planning and creative thought here early in the morning. Not consciously, things just come into my head when I swim and often problems solve naturally while I swim my lengths. It puts me at peace and has been vital to the rehab after surgery.
I will miss that process.
Maybe I will have to swim inside.
Anyway in the October sun this morning, I felt I was close to heaven.
