Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

How was your swim today?

Kitty Marie Curie Cancer Care organise a swimathon in April and people can do that. But i saw this as different, however after feedback from here and othersites it looks as if this is not an event that would be attractive. So back to the drawing board.

My swim today was rubbish - how do I learn how to not swim like a drowning puppy? and how do I make it less boring?

RuthB2, I'm going to my clubs tri wing on Sat am. They have a swim coach and I am reliably informed that they can cure my drowning puppy stroke. Could you do similar?

Local swimming clubs were v. welcoming too. They said I could go a couple times for free and get advice, then join if I wanted to continue with them.

Don't know how to cure boredom tho, sorry! (I'm too busy trying to work out how to breath, kick, not drown etc. to have luxury of boredom!)

TM sorry to hear the ideas not popular :( seems sound to me but again i'm no where near local

i was going to suggest a more swimming orientated site for feedback but i'm presuming you've done that

Thanks for the comments Stu. The whole purpose of this exercise was to gauge interest before I persue securing a venue, getting posters done, recruiting volunteers etc. But I have had negative responses to the idea so need to rethink.

650m (26 x 25m) Breaststroke aerobic swim in about 18 minutes. Did some work on my front crawl before the work session. Friend came with me and said my arm exit out of the water was messy (lots of splash) so worked on the getting it cleaner and was better by the end. I also need to remember to rotate to lift the shoulder of the exiting arm.
