14th December. 'The Swimming'

Tonight, due to a misapprehension regarding 'Swim Club' I find I'm the only swimmer in the entire Leisure Pool. It's still required that I be watched by two attendants to comply fully with current health & safety. It feels like either this is my own private 25 metre pool with a permanent staff or I'm in an aquatic version of 'The Shining'. One attendant opens the door directly to the rain and wind until a particularly strong gust slams the door shut again... then all of a sudden the pool turns red and I'm swimming in blood.
