Because it hasn't happened yet, all players have a gold star next to their names on the leaderboard. To retain your gold star, you need to beat Cousteau to the checkpoint i.e. you need to clock up 4.8 miles before the end of 19th April. I have added the dates to all the other checkpoints too. Good luck!

It's inappropriateness makes me smile everything I walk in. Someone with a dark sense of humour has to have chosen the wording. Fortunately said 'area' is very open so couldn't be used for the suggested activity

Though in my defence I was a bit distracted by Sushi tearing down the Thames like a torpedo behind me! I'm very fortunate that my pool's timetable is allowing me a decent amount of lane swimming over the holidays.

Getting timing and breathing back. So much quick and more energy efficient than a 'grab and go' or 'touch turn' I do love my OWS but so pleased the challenge has reminded me I love pool swims too.
Goofee Apr 2022 7:07pm, 12 Apr 2022 4,161 posts	Quote Pin Goofee My swimming consultant (also known as my daughter) asked if I was interested in learning to tumble turn. As I'm training in order to swim up and down a Welsh lake in a couple of month's time I didn't think it was a skill worth learning, so I continue to turn with all the speed and grace of a super-tanker. The relentless up and down does feel like it's getting me somewhere now, though, I'm able to put in a sustained faster period between the long leisurely warm-up and the cool down without having to think about breathing and stroke execution, which is progress.
