Swimming to Iceland.

From the start of January to the end of March, Tønsberg swimming baths has a draw which you can enter every time that you have swam 10,000 Metres. The prize, a trip for 2 to Iceland.

This is providing us with some encouragement and we have manage to maintain 2 swims a week for the first 2 weeks of the year. I had hoped to swim a minimum of 1000 Metres on our pre-work early morning session. This has not yet happened, due to an inability to get up, out of the house and to swimming pool early enough! What it does mean is that it has been neccesary to swim at pace to manage the 800 Metres that I have covered each time.

After 4 sesions, I have reached 3500 Metres, Mrs VL has reached 2500 Metres and the cats foster parent, who also joins us, has reach 4875 Metres, mostly due to her proximity to the pool and ability to get out of bed in the mornings!!!
