在游泳池旁 Next to the 50m outdoor pool雖然高雄白天天氣還是很熱，但是已經開始變，早晚稍微涼快。最近決定要參加澄清湖早泳會所舉辦的冬天游泳活動。那裡有五十米室外游泳池，游泳的人少，而且大部分都是游泳高手，速度也很快，希望透過一段時間跟他們練習，我的自由式也能夠稍微快一點。
從十一月到三月我的游泳目標如下：
（一）在兩個游泳池游泳（包括原來參加二十五米室內游泳池）每一個禮拜游兩萬五到三萬公尺。
（二）注重長距離，短距離（速度快）的游泳。
（三）在陸地多锻練身體（為了增加我的力量）。
這個計劃要從十一月一日正式新的。
Although the daytime weather in Kaohsiung is still very hot, it has already started to change, and it is slightly cooler in the mornings and evenings. I have recently decided to take part in the winter swimming activity being organized by the Cheng Ching Lake early-morning swimming association. There the swimming pool is 50 meters long and is outdoors, there are few people swimming, and those that do are mostly very proficient at swimming and also very fast. I hope that after a period of time of training with them, my freestyle will also be able to become a little faster.
For the period from November to March, my swimming goals are as follows:
(1) Two swim in two different swimming pools (including the 25 meter indoor pool that I have been going to), and to cover between 25,000 and 30,000 meters of swimming each week.
(2) To lay emphasis on both long-distance and short-distance (high speed) swimming.
(3) To do dry-land exercises (to increase my strength).
This program will formally commence on November 1.

澄清湖 Cheng Ching Lake which I pass on the 15-minute easy bike ride from home to the outdoor poolCongratulations to Ruben Ruzafa of Spain with his winning time of 2:37:36 and to Julie Dibens of the United Kingdom with her winning time of 3:03:57 (awesome race) at the 2008 XTERRA World Championships on Maui. A special thanks, too, to a previous many-time champion Jamie Whitmore for her excellent commentating. I hope you fully recover.

Cool pool Bruce. No lanes. BTW thanks for your concern about my knee. I go to the surgeon on Thursday to find out what he thinks.
Yes, I swam in a pool once that had no lanes and was surprised how much more like open water swimming it was. Great that you now have two pools with one being 50m long. Good luck with your plans!
Good luck with your long swim plans! Pool looks nice. Are there lane lines or is it a "free" for-all in the pool? ahhahaaa!
Look at you! Oh nice photo Bruce! Sure wish you could make a visit back to Kona. No lanes, sounds like the ocean! Sweet!!
Love the pool! There is one like it on Vancouver with no lane lines and it is 140 meters long. Cool stuff! You seem HAPPY!
