Love it.

Ja’mie is exactly how I remember the ‘cool girls’ at school
Jonah is exactly how I remember the ‘annoying guys’ at school

and Mr G.. well unfortunately he’s exactly how I remember a couple of the teachers at school too! lol

Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre

Posted on August 28th, 2007 by Tracey

Took a swim in the just-opened Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre tonight – pretty nice!

There’s the standard 50m lap pool, a leisure pool with spa and a hydrotherapy pool. There’s a sauna in there somewhere but I didn’t check it out.

The lifeguard was nice enough to let me swim laps in the extra-slow arse lane so I didn’t hold up any of the other swimmers in the slow lane.. Managed to get a decent aqua workout, spent about 45 mins doing laps and then repeating the stuff I’ve learnt at aquanatal.

It’s $6 for adults for a casual swim, which is pretty good considering I’m not a member and it’s a brand new facility. (An RSL we used to go to used to charge $6, but now charges about $20 a swim!!)

Since it’s not far from our apartment, I’ll probably be down there a couple of times a week until we move (which is still a few weeks away). Swimming has been great during my pregnancy so I’m glad I didn’t have to give it up completely. I much rather a 2 block walk, than the 3 hour drive every week…
