Swimming
For our swimming training there are a number of options,
the most popular being the Club swimming night Monday at
7pm at Tring Swimming Pool. This involves
an hours worth of training.
We also meet on a Friday
night at 7pm in the pool at Berkhamsted Leasure Centre.
This is an informal session and usually involves a fair
bit of chatting.
During the summer months we all get dressed up in rubber
and head to the Blue Lagoon near Hitchen on a Saturday morning
(7am) for a lap or three of the lake. THis is usually followed
by Jim getting us to swim to the first buoy sans wet suit,
it certainly wakes you up, especially in the early weeks
when the waters far from luke warm!
To come swimming at the Lagoon all you need is a membership
card (so we know who's in the water) and you wet suit and
goggles. There are several clubs in attendance and to differentiate
between all the men and women in black each club wears a
different coloured swim hat. The Shires Triers hat colour
is white, very exciting. Usually there are several car loads
of people leaving from various Berko and Tring locations
so you should be able to grab a lift. |
