Update

Years ago, when I worked at The Adelphi, John Adam Street, I used to go swimming five days a week. I could do 30 laps in the time available.

It’s been many years since I last swam, so I wasn’t expecting much. I did, though, hope for more than…four.

Plus, I has to be hoicked out of the water on a hoist, being unable to climb up on my own steam.

I am going to continue swimming, and I am sure I will get better but this morning I am a bit downcast.

Ah. I'm sorry, I can see that's a bit sad-making. But little and often, and you'll be surprised at how quickly lost strength can come back.

Oh, this is so frustrating! No wonder that you feel down.

It will very likely come back if you swim regulary but do not try to force it.
(At least I very much hope so, as I'm working on regaining what I could do a year ago...)

Pretty much what I was going to say

But you went, and did the four laps, and you're going back! Good for you!
