I don't think I ended up swimming a 5km at all this year. I swam longer and shorter but I cried out of the Swimathon because I'd signed up to the triple 5km and they messed me about so much changing dates and times that I just gave up. I promise I will try harder next year! EP - I tried to do a 10km in a pool once about 5-6 years ago. Even in a 50m pool all the turning made me dizzy, that and the water being too warm meant I had to get out to throw up after 8. I think 5km is my limit as a pool swim. |

Good point Luiz! I think I missed the 5K too and given 50 mins max in pool still it won't happen now |

I really enjoyed building up for the Fetch 5k swim last year. It helped my swim focus a lot having a virtual event on my race calendar. Any takers for a 6k swim โeventโ this summer? |

I have a 5k pool swim in the calendar for May (which I am undertrained for and which seems to be coming around very quickly ), it would be nice to have something of a similar length for the open water in the summer though so I'd be up for that.

Gosh, I don't think I'd have the motivation to get beyond 5k but I might do that again.

Same as ITG - happy to do another 5k but don't really fancy going above that!
