Swimming swimming in a swimming pool

My dad and I have started up swimming a few times a week as a way of getting fitter. I love swimming and having been in a place where I was unable to exercise for quite a few years, I often dreamed of the day when I was able to get fit. I promised myself that I would get myself the fittest I've ever been.
So hopefully by swimming I can kick start that aim in good fashion. I had a good session today swimming 28 lengths of the pool. But what made me really proud was that I swam two lots of ten lengths without stopping and I felt good for more!
My Dad has also given me a proposition. He proposes that we both do the Great North Swim together which is a a mile long. As sensible beings that we are, we're not doing it this September but rather next year! But it's a good thing to aim for though isn't it.
