Tomorrow I shall swim for the last time

[Anordinarymum]

..until lockdown is over. I'll miss it terribly.

What will you miss?

Same. Also, going to the bookshop.

Have my hair and nails done. Followed by a meal outside of my house. All things I do regularly to unwind and de stress I will miss these.

Weightlifting. It's such a good stress release.

Same OP!
I’m going for my last swim at the lido near me at 9.30am tomorrow.
Devastated that it’s closing, it’s the only exercise I’ve found that got the last lockdown weight off and that I really enjoyed. I signed the petition earlier to try to keep pools open.

Swim and spin. And I plan to do both tomorrow. I will actually cry when I leave the gym tomorrow. Not even joking.

Are you anywhere near the coast? The sea is still surprisingly warm here in Devon and it’s doing so much for my mental health.

But I’ll miss my partner. I’ve fallen head over heels after thinking I’d never meet anyone again post divorce. We’ve been together less than 6 months and I don’t think realistically we’ll be able to see each other. I might sneak a visit or two but he’s two hours drive away and I’m feeling absolutely distraught about it. I know it’s dramatic and lots of other people have much more difficult situations but I just want a nice meal, a glass of wine and a good shag and a month seems like bloody forever.

I saw my Cubs in person tonight. Fingers crossed it is only 4 weeks, it isn't the same online. They worked so well in their teams and the older ones are doing well on their leadership skills.

Going to miss watching the kids swimming lessons as well, although I moan weekly.

Not going to miss this week's crazy traffic.

I don't swim myself but DD is a club swimmer and I will miss taking her and helping out (Covid chaperone).

For myself I will miss meeting friends.

My pool only opened again mid September. Last swim tomorrow. Nothing else in my life will change except meet ups with people, but I've really enjoyed swimming.

Well really the same thing I've missed since march - going into the office

@FeckArseDrinkGirls I’m sorry, that sounds so tough. So unfair on people who live apart :-(

Me too. I have been trying to get a slot all week but all the slots at my local pool have gone. I had just got back into it after the summer holidays and was doing so well!

Swimming for me too. This is my first year swimming in cold water (usually only swim open water Apr - Sept). I've been loving the 9-10 degree lake water this Autumn.

I am still lake swimming. Have been to an indoor pool once this year. I miss it. I also miss the dentist and the library.

I had my last sauna yesterday evening. I will miss it and don't expect that it will restart in early December.

Swimming. I generally go 3 times a week. Nothing else compares for me for exercise.

The gym!
And I would love to learn to swim, but I cannot in the middle of this! Just my luck!

DD is gutted her swimming lessons have stopped again & she wanted to go family swimming one weekend too

I'll miss eating out, has planned to do a Treasure Trail with us & my mum followed by lunch in a pub garden (well wrapped up obvs!).

I just hope it doesn't rain every weekend

We went to the library yesterday to stock up, they still hadn't been told if they were closing or not.

In so sad that the pools are closing again, I sadly think many won't reopen .

Im still missing talking to other parents and making friends who have children and socialising my DS alas I also doubt that will change any time soon.

The lake I swim at is staying open, so will continue to enjoy my chilly dips (wet suites are for wusses!)

I will miss letting DS go for walks with his mates. There is a gang of 3 of them- they cannot all go out together (although they can sit in class together as part of a bubble of 300!). There’s nothing but field for miles around, so walking together kept them sane and we’d thought they could do the same again- but no.
I’ll also miss helping with club swimming, it was good to see our young athletes getting back into their sport.

I thought you were going to say for the very last time due to some condition or other, just look forward to when you are able to swim again.

Swimming. I'm still hoping to open water swim through the winter, but a month off when the temperatures are dropping will make it hard to get back in if I don't do something - so have ordered a japanese folding plunge tub (just a cheap plastic one) for the garden so I can keep my cold water adaptation. Alas, am as far from the sea as you can get, and no publicly accessible lakes locally, just the paid venues which have to close
