Lockdown lifting in England explained 22/2/21

There wasn't anything about swimming pools - that I could se anyway - which is what I really want to get back to. I found this:

'When will swimming pools reopen?

Swimming pools will be allowed to reopen from April 12, the Prime Minister has revealed.'

'It's still unclear whether the restrictions will be eased for both outdoor and indoor swimming pools.'

'You should also only visit your local swimming pool with members of your own household at first.'

Pools are the safest indoor activity the chlorine kills everything.

Personally think too much opening too quick. Schools should have a staggered return do that they can monitor infection rates.

Me too I got big muscles back in my arms and lost a stone easily as I used to do aerobic exercise in the pool. Jogging. x

Chlorine will not stop the Covid vaccine..... If it did we wouldn’t be in the position we are in now.

It doesn’t stop Covid but it does kill the virus in the water. I am a fully qualified swimming official who is part of swim England who is is in constant contact with the government about swimming and Covid safety with scientific back up.

Well done you .. a great achievement.. I can swim but I’m not great.. my son is or was a competitive swimmer hence the swimming official qualification. I was club secretary until RA.

My poor son has lost his chance with competitive swimming .. training and competition won’t be back fully probably for 12 months or more unfortunately lost chances.

Well impressed with your new skill 👏👏👏

Thanks! My daughter is a synchronised swimmer and also still holds the breaststroke record at her school (she's now 22) which was a while back. Such a shame about your son - I hope he can get back to training soon x

Hi Lola ...me too!The last series was just remarkable on so many levels and I really really couldn’t bear for it to be the end.But that feeling was sort of balanced out by that brilliant last scene!I was soooo happy to see L and G together finally and looking sooo happy !After everything theyve been thro they really do deserve each other....in the best possible sense🤗On the plus side there’s Line of Duty coming up and the other night I watched Bloodlands😳👏👏👏👏But Spiral and L and G will always be at the top of my list.Hope you have a good day...some sunshine coming our way soon.
