tell us about you and swimming. How old were you when you learned how to swim? Where do you swim and what it is like swimming there? When you swim do you just tread water, do a front stroke, back stroke or other?

I was about 10 when I learnt.

I favour breaststroke but can do front crawl too or backstroke. I used to do 5k or 10k competitive swims for many years. But retired in my 50s due to ill health.

@OldBrit wow! that is very cool. I love the breast stroke too--in the ocean it is awesome. Hope you can get to the pool from time to time.

@robertsnj new pool being built actually near me but sadly the over 60s free entry is no more when that opens next year but I'm thinking of becoming of those old guys slowly chugging along 😂😂
