one thing which really changed swimming for me was buying a swim snorkel. suddenly you can just focus on your form and it becomes really meditative. yes you get some funny looks but i recommend it.

What a brilliant idea!

Well that’s stirred a raft of memories I wasn’t intending to visit! I’ll add to the school pool nostalgia; cubicles made solely of plastic curtains. Makes me shudder just thinking of it! But I can remember very happy times with friends at the local pool larking around and having a splashing good time. So I’ve been living in the ‘I hate water on my face’ camp all my adult life. Connecting dots Verity, connecting all the dots! Have fun when you go sailing x

Absolutely love this. I’m terrible at swimming, but I love swimming in the sea. I’ve been trying to do some pool swims too. Still terrible, but I will try and keep going.

Yes keep trying, I’ve found it quite therapeutic but I’ve not tried sea swimming yet!
