I was pretty tired and I kept my dry robe on whilst eating my dinner and putting B to bed but nothing that a good shower and a good night sleep didn't fix.

Daz Love May 2019 11:49am, 29 May 2019 1,200 posts	0 Daz Love We are away this week down in Dartmoor and just swam at by far the best ever facility I have used. There is a private school in Tavistock (Mount Kelly) that opens its pool(s) to the public at certain times. Used the 50m pool (they have a 25m one as well) which was my first time, as always use 25m in past. Never had markers every 5m on the bottom of the pool either. Found it a bit harder at times with 50m as don’t get the push off the side as much but lovely swim. If anyone is ever in the area I can highly recommend it. £4 as well which was very good.

Daz Love May 2019 7:05pm, 29 May 2019 1,202 posts	0 Daz Love It’s open all year round to the public from what I understand. See an annual membership notice (£300) up in reception as well.
