Putting the poo in pool

Or rather, keeping the poo out of the pool.

I slept in the other day and barely left enough time for a dip before work. I’d been in the water all of about 3 minutes when the lifeguards stopped me and said I had to get out. They’d somehow managed to put too much chemicals in the water. So, I took an extra-long shower and got a coffee on the way home. That’s almost like a workout. Not!

I gave up my membership at the Olympic Pool earlier this year because I’m not working or living near enough to it anymore. And the Birkenhead Pool is so close by, just a 10 minute walk. But they’ve been plagued by staff shortages and other problems like this chemical incident, so the convenient location does come at a cost.
