Back in the swim of things

The last vestiges of my cold and chest infection have finally gone, and I was itching to get back in the pool. Having not swum for about 3 weeks though, I decided not to overdo it, and set myself a target of a half mile swim.
It felt really good to be back in the water - and the pool was lovely and quiet - always an added bonus! 32 lengths took me just about 30 mins, so even though I hadn't been for a while, I don't seem to have slowed down much.
I'd really like to work on improving my stroke though - and I think one easy way will be to get my head under water more. At the moment I don't wear goggles, so it's not comfortable to get my face underwater too much, but I think this could be remedied with a good pair of goggs - I feel a little shopping trip coming on!
Take care,
