    I dont mind getting wet, it's the bit between the changing rooms and the water I dont do :eek:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

  • I can do swimming as long as the water is really warm. Cold water spasms the muscles in my ankle and cramp and because the muscles can't control themselves, the foot turns over but I can't turn it back without standing on something solid . I had very scary experience in a deep pool in Ibiza a few years ago because of it :(

    I don't mind that bit too much - can't wear my glasses or contact lenses so can't see anyone looking at me anyway! it's the stinking of chlorine and the getting ready afterwards that I hate. that said I'm thinking of going more often now I've cancelled the gym membership.

    I wear my contact lenses in the pool - I know you're not supposed to but I need to be able to see what the kids are doing! :o

    Ohh I have to wear my glasses in the pool. I wouldn't find my way back to the changing rooms without them :rotfl:
