I also like back crawl.nthe latter I can sometimes lose direction. In the commie of old, when tiring, I could also find myself being dragged from the RHS of the lane over to the left when heading towards Cameron toll whilst swimming front crawl. Instead of concluding my swimming was weak, I concluded the old commie had a current.</p> <p>If anyone has a good recommendation for earplugs I would like to hear it. Ah but I can't as ears are waterlogged. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8629#post-87191 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:29:44 +0000 Kirst 87191@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No, but it does have my noseclips somewhere. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8629#post-87181 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:55:12 +0000 fimm 87181@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo don't know what you are talking about but the floor changes halfway along which is quite nice as at least you know you are half way there... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8629#post-87155 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:09:21 +0000 gembo 87155@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Kirst, does the new commonwealth pool still have a tidal current or maybe an eddy about 25 metres along just when you are looking for a wall to kick off? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8629#post-87121 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:11:33 +0000 Chimpofdoom 87121@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wasn't him, he went for a run there instead!</p> <p>But he appreciates that people are looking our for each other! :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8629#post-87120 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:57:28 +0000 Kirst 87120@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't remember.

I know the owner and will ask him!</p> <p>He goes there every morning.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8629#post-87117 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:53:25 +0000 Kirst 87117@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Do you have a green bike? Was it in the racks at the front of the building? </p> <p>I turned your rear light off for you. Unfortunately I didn't realise your front light was also on until I was too far away to be arsed to go back and turn it off, so if that battery is dead, sorry. </p>
