It's a customer service call centre job, inbound only and likely to be boring as all hell, but it's a Mon-Fri 9-5 with a take-home of about £980, which is about £3k better than I'm on now, and with regular hours..

I'm fairly good at customer service as it is, as I always treat them how I'd expect to be treated myself (and yes, I fully expect people to be cursing my name when they see me coming/phoning, as I do to my customers. What they don't know, etc).

Today my plan was to be in the pool between 2 and 4 and then between 6.30 and 8.30.

My plan for first session
Warm up 35 lengths (min break after finishing the lengths)
Then 12 lengths development 6 with float on arms,6 legs.

Mainset is
16 lengths alternating between my fav fast and another slow.
use float and kick for 8
12 lengths fav stroke at fast pace.

Swim down will be

16 alternating between normal, float on arms, float on legss.

The swim fit says this will take an hour, I actually tend to take a bit longer as my fast is not that fast I then usually chuck on headphones and finish rest of free time doing skill development. My legs are much strong than my arms so I can kick and swim fine so I tend to try and work a bit more on using just arms

Tonights will be more about toning,

12 lengths alternating front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke every length.

Skill Development 12 lengths

Main Set 18 lengths .then 4 lengths using arms from one stroke, legs from different.
Swim down.

Friday I want to put in 7 hours over 2 sessions. but I think I will probably just end up doing normal lengths. or development.

Do you use swimfit? whats your routine? you can message me on Facebook if you want.

I tend to work my routine around free time I have. This week I'm on phased hours at work so I have a fair bit of free time so spending a lot of time in pool doing not that much (but it is psychological, makes me feel better even if it's just an hour of normal lengths it's better than a hour at computer). On days I only have an hour of so I tend to up the intensity.

Go a step further. Don't just treat customers as you expect to be treated yourself, as every customer is different, has a different issue that needs tackled and has their own background behind it. Simply understand what the customer's issue is, and make sure you actually know what their problem is and how it is affecting them by repeating it back to them and let them know exactly what you are able to do it resolve it, and what they can do if what you offer is not good enough (should ace you the interview with that perspective).
