Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

How was your swim today?

I had a eureka moment today.

I swam on Friday, and because it was super-busy, I spent quite a bit of time very close to the lane ropes. And I actually managed to pause my watch, because I clattered the ropes a couple of times.

Today I was sharing a lane, but because I was going clockwise, my watch was never near the rope.

So next time I'm in an anti-clockwise loop, I shall just wear my watch on the other wrist :-)

I've not done that in quite a while. You might have to tell the watch which wrist you're wearing it on (I do with mine).

I once lost my Garmin as it got ripped off by the lane ropes! It was in the deep end and a very kind fellow swimmer rescued it for me :-)

I forgot this until today (from yesterday's swim):

The grime on the bottom of my local pool has got so bad that someone has drawn a cock and balls in it with their finger! (There was also a smiley face a bit further down the lane, just for balance.)

The grime, not the picture. The picture's funny! :)
