Set SANDF071014
APNEA/Stroke Set swum by John Lavender, with Gateshead and Whickham ASC
Masters at Felling Pool (25m), October 14th, 2007
This was a developement of the set I swam at Blaydon Pool on September 27th. I felt the time had come to come to
more seriously try-out a new Monofin the club had bought and also up my metreage in the set, though by a modest
amount. Felling pool is regularly used by Clubs for Meets and has a reputation for being a "fast" pool.
I did actually feel as if I was swimming more quickly especially as I was wearing a fastskin suit.. maybe it was
psychological, but that was how it seemed.
