I have just invested in a swimmers snorkel

Apparently they are very good for improving technique.  They are available at www.swimming-world.co.uk

Most of the pools I have been to seem to have clocks that are too small to read. 

I can’t see a huge amount without glasses and struggle to see the time, 

The exception to this was the Littledown Centre in Bournemouth which has a huge digital clock above one end.  The only problem with that is, I didn’t actually notice it until I was walking past the pool on the way out!

However big the clock is, surely one important thing is that is it at one end or the other?  So why did whoever designed Basingstoke Sports Centre pool, decide to put the clock on the wall along one side?  To see it you have to look up or stop about half way along.
