swimming laps

Not me! I don't swim laps. I watch others at the pool swimming up and down, up and down, 6-10-20 times. Do I get a bit jealous? Yes I do.  A bit. But now let me demonstrate my ignorance. What is a lap exactly? Is it from one end to the other? Or is it from one end to the other and then back again? I'm still swimming in between watching the better swimmers, struggling my way up and down the lane.  I've found I don't get out of breath as much, so that's an improvement. I get halfway up the lane before needing a rest, where before I'd make it only a few metres. A big problem is the bursitis in my shoulders. It's difficult to get going properly when the shoulder says stop! I've had enough!. Anyway.....I'm sure I'll eventually get to swimming laps, or even one lap would be good. Too cold today though, raining too. Hooray! Signs of winter!
