Slow

I sometimes think that taking your children swimming and having a splash around is more exhausting than going by yourself and doing length after length after length. Maybe it's because when I go myself I don't have to badger myself to get dressed/undressed, persuade myself to try for the toilet and then require a steady stream of snacks afterwards. I also get to the pool and back pretty quickly, not feeling the need to stop and look at every spider, ladybird and dog that I pass. Oh, it's great fun, don't get me wrong, but a swift caffeine injection is always needed on arrival at home.

As well as a musical injection. I stuck my ipod on shuffle to see what came up, to surprise myself whilst I made lunch. First up was an old favourite.
