another 44 lengths today. seems like 44 is settling in to be my 'normal' amount. I need to start pushing myself more, aim for 48 as a minimum.

I also need to sort out my mp3 player so I can swim with music again.

44 lengths is not an unreasonable amount.

problem with swimming and most forms of traditional cardio is that you get decent progression to start with but then get to a stage where you're really counting out an extra metre or two per session and that is when people get discouraged.

i take it this is non-stop swimming?

as non-stop as can be managed in a busy lane, yes!

I stop for a brief swig of water and rinse of goggles every 4 lengths, and try to maintain a decent speed (as in, one that is challenging to me), although that is tricky when the lane is filled with old people swimming randomly.
