The Summer Season is ending - the Pond will close at 4.30pm from Monday 24th September, and will be further pushed back in n-mid/late October, probably to 2.30pm. I reckon my swim yesterday evening will be the last of the year. Water is now about 16C which is still quite pleasant.
At least this week I achieved my aim, which was to swim five continuous circuits of the Pond before the end of the season. Considering when I restarted my swimming last year I struggled to get round once, I'm pretty pleased with that. Also I'm 12 kilos lighter and fitter, so I can dive properly again
.
So it's London Fields Lido for me now. Four times a week, with a twenty-five minute walk each way, should help my fitness and weight loss continue through the Winter.
