Only on holiday. I think you only need to do two lenghts, one to the swim to bar and then one back out of the pool later, if you are lucky you can touch the bottom and walk back.

I float in the bath at home, does that count? I reckon I could manage a few thousand lengths of my bath

 

[Alan]

I swim on holiday but I don't bore myself with slogging up and down the length of the pool. You just get in everyone's way doing that anyway. I'm more of a floater on my back really or I chat to other swimmers. You get to know people that way then you can chat to them when you see them later in the bar. It's a social thing really.

Seems the route to fitness and well being relies heavily on lounging around and boozing these days ....... Thought it was just me!

I did last year to be fair whilst training for sprint tri. I used to do about 800-1000 meters in a 23 m pool so that errr about 35-40 odd laps or lengths. Took about 30 mins to do that and that was enough.

That's good going ..i did 32 lengths in 40min..so wonderd if that was good enough as part of a work out...was only doing breast stroke tho

As the post above clearly shows - In all honesty I doubt this forum is the best to get advise on fitness. I did it could I had to for an event I have no idea if it was the right amount or not. We need to find some sort of athlete on the forum that can advise, sadly a lot of us are past our athletic best :-(
