DAMNED TEENAGERS!

5 x 150 (100 crawl, 50 back)
50 breast

800 M (19:18:03)

It can be difficult to choose which lane to choose when the joint is pretty busy. Usually I go for the lane with the most room and the least perceived hassle. Today I had a different strategy. 2 teenage girls were hogging one lane, swimming side by side, making it undesirable for anyone to try to swim there.

Fuck that! I thought. As soon as my wake hits them, they'll exit the lane.

Nope they just kept acting dumb, and then I'd growl at them and they'd begrudgingly move out of my path. I told them if they wanted to splash about they could go to the kiddy pool, but if they wanted to swim, they'd have to swim in a ring. They started to do the typical Danish teenager thing arguing their position, and I just didn't listen to their bullshit, but pushed off the wall and kept swimming. The little whiners even started complaining to the life guard. Unfuckingbelievable!

Despite the annoying teenagers, I had a good swim and a good time.

FUN WITH THE FAMILY

4 x 150 (100 crawl, 50 back)
=====
600 M (untimed)

Went to the swimming pool with my brother and his 2 kids. Had a nice swim and enjoyed seeing my niece do some diving. Got the lifeguard to lower the climbing wall and gave it a shot as well. I was *hopeless* at climbing.
