So I love to cycle and when my foot is mended (dislocated a bone) I’ll be happy to run, but swimming? Oh goodness that’s a whole different story due to the fact I am actually awful. I use to love swimming but as life has rolled on I just have become lazy, and simply do a pathetic version of what should be breast stroke.
Now the thing is it’s all well and good me doing breast stroke but not for 750m.... it may just take me all day! I have to learn how to do front crawl and considering I hate to get my hair wet, it’s undoubtedly going to be a challenge! So up with the birds my other half and me, (Iron man completer) have been getting up and going to the local leisure center to train. I originally started out in my grotty old simple black swimming cossie but it was unsupportive and wearing away, so I went on a mission to find a new fashion forward one.I decided to have a look at what fun swimming costumes were out there, mainly in protest of opting for the standard basic one.Endurance+I have been swimming properly since the end of last year but only over the last few weeks I been using my new Speedo costume. I did initially think it was going to be quite stiff after reading about Speedo's Endurance+ fabric, but it actually isn't and instead it's flexible and soft.
WashingAs I am swimming most days now I am having to wash the swimsuit a lot, I was a bit worried about the fabrics but it seems to be as it was when I got it. OverallWell I am still swimming most days, (learning how to do front crawl!) so maybe I'll give you an update in June (before my triathlon) and I'll let you know how the swimming and my swimwear is doing! This particular swimsuit is the Speedo Pinnacle Kickback.
