@misterhat Thank you. I been practising so hard. Friday I swam 100 lengths, 40 towing a manakin. The manikin was half full of water. So heavy but not so it would sink.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@misterhat I don't remember! I really don't. I spent most of my life in the water!

@misterhat Do you coach in a swimming club. I swim in a club. It's four nights a week and three mornings before school. But I swam for Wales once so it's worth all the training!
