A couple of weeks ago , i made a list of things i wanted to learn . Learning to swim , was one of those things . So this morning i went to The Leisure Centre at 7 . I was determined not to leave the pool , until i had learned to swim . I left the pool around 30 mins later after i had done just that . I only swam about 10 metres or so , but i did that four times . After i had left the pool , i spoke to the swimming attendant , who was watching me , and he couldn't believe it , when i told him , that was the first time that i'd ever swam . I'll go there again at 6 .30am on Monday . I'll be swimming like a fish , in a couple of weeks . Next thing on my list . Learn to drive .

I shall be swimming shortly on a regular basis.
Need to be able to beat my kids in a 50 metre race in Spain in summer. They have not beat me yet . I am 55 , son is 20 and daughter 28 and a triathlete. Not a chance I could beat them over a distance longer than 50 metres. They have stamina but I can do 50 metres without taking a breath . |

Good stuff Culvin , what persuaded you to try it and why not sooner ?
|
|
By:
Nice one Culvin. Far more rewarding than going for lessons.
|

By:
Well done Culvin, that's a hell of an achievement!
Next time, ask if you can go in the big pool....  |

THANKS , sixtwosix , geoff m , and Lady Faye Verrit . In the past , 6two6 , i never had the confidence , i was afraid of the water . I remember visiting the swimming baths , as a boy with the school and it was a terrible experience . The water was freezing and the bleach ,stung my eyes . I always thought it was a difficult thing to learn , so i never bothered .I'm made up i did it , and also , as quickly as i did .

Ive just been out to buy some cigars , Dr , and i had a little gab with the lovely lady in the shop . I told her about my swim , and i showed her my style , and she said " Thats the breaststroke" and i immediately thought , i wouldn't half like to give your breasts a stroke . By the way , Doc , every morning , i wake up all sweaty , what do you think causes that .I'm not in any pain or anything , i'm just all sweaty , when i wake up . . By the way , i think it was a bit naughty to kill your wife , but i forgive you , although next time , just leave her , although obviously , there won't unfortunately be a next time for you . THANKS , Doc .

I saved up almost £15 grand , the last 3 years , Leopard . Money won on here , and through match betting . You're mate , craggy won't believe that , but that's the truth .

There is an good size outdoor lido not far from me in Brockwell Park, a mate of mine does yoga classes a couple of times a week in the attached gym and she says there are always a few people swimming in the mornings (including today)where the temperature was below zero! I do like swimming but I think I'll pass on that one personally

Another thing , Leopard , whenever i go on a little trip , i keep my cost's down , by not staying in hotels . I take my tent with me . I don't stay in campsite's . I pitch my tent , wherever i want , and wherever i feel safe . I unknowingly , once slept in a graveyard in Dublin . When i go to France , my tent will be coming with me . .

Admirable from a budget eco-travelling pov, but you may have to lower your sights a bit lower than Audrey wrt the calibre of saucy french bird which you wish to pull.

I unknowingly , once slept in a graveyard in Dublin Was that in the dead centre of Dublin CUlvin.? Good for you with the wild camping Culvin . Done it a few times myself. Whilst walking The Ridgeway and cycling in Scotland. Whilst its illegal in England(unless you get landowners permission) as you probably know its permitted in Scotland. As long as you leave it as you found it canna see a problem. |
