We have an outdoor heated 50m pool nearby, my favourite local pool. The water temp must be about 23 or 24C so perfectly heated, steam rises from it on days like today. It is a great place to swim :-)

I wanted to swim but this was a class about going slow and focusing. Good to loosen my legs a bit from yesterday's run, but I don't think it counted for training.
