Woke up at 6am, walked and arrived at the Surrey Sports Park by 7am. Surrey Sports Park is a new gym in Guildford, which is developed by the University of Surrey. Today is the official opening day of the gym. I had a half-an-hour induction and, then, off I went for my first swim at the swimming pool. Overall, I think the gym is pretty impressive with a massive 50m, 6-lane pool, a massive workout area equipped with fancy workout machines (e.g. weight machines which tell you if you are lifting your weights properly or treadmills which you can watch free-view TV programs or plug in your iPod and watch your music videos), a gigantic basketball court (which can also be used for badminton, netball and indoor soccer), a huge indoor climbing wall etc. I was annoyed with one thing though, as I did not get to finish my 2km swim in the pool. It closes from 8am to 8.30am for pool division. In other words, the pool is being divided into two 25m pools. I will probably go back to the pool to finish my swim. Some of you may think I am persistent, and some of you may think I am a nutcase. Anyway, I may as well enjoy it while it is new! I will get bored with it eventually.
