Does swimming count???

Does swimming count when you haven't got many miles in? Only done 30 miles in the last week but have swam over 5km instead ... surely that counts for something? Well, what else are you gonna do with a free gym pass? (",)
I joined the gym on their off peak time, which amazingly starts at 6.30am! It's a new one by my mum's but it's got a 20 metre pool that always seem to be empty. And plugs for hairstraighteners! Which is very important!
Thought I could swim on the days when the weather is too bad to cycle, or when commitments at work mean that it's difficult to cycle, which seems to be a lot lately. Although weather forecasts of heavy fog don't help... especially when it turns out there isn't any ("~) Grrrr

5km at 20m a length is a wopping 250 lengths!!

I wish the gyms around here were free. The cheapest (with a pool) that I can find is still £35pm

i did 40 lengths first day, 50 the 2nd, 50 the 3rd, missed a day, 80 the next day and 50 the next day. so just over. and the pass has ran out now :( but i joined on off peak which means i can go in the morning before work if i don't cycle. whoop! swim the channel next year! Yay LOL

o yea its £32.80 even though i can only use it in the morning on week days and afternoons at weekend. fuk knows what full price is but i'm not paying any more just to use the pool (hate hate hate the gym, rather be on the bike)
