    I’m truly sad to hear you’re leaving this thread. I’ve recently retired but followed you for the last year or two and you have truly been inspirational along with other contributors. Best wishes for the future.

    Welcome back.

    if you are still swimming I guess you know that 32 lengths of a standard pool =  1/2 mile.
    So for just 2 more lengths you could boast : "I've just swum half a mile, sounds so much more impressive (in my mind!!) than 30 lengths
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    I usually do 40 to 50 lengths minimum. Being metric I always try to swim over a kilometre lol!
