I may not be fast, or technically very good, but I am a swimmer.  I used to be too scared to enjoy being in the water.

Lessons with Ian and Cheryl at Croft Farm changed how I feel about floating, getting a breath, allowed me to experience that sensation which now feels like flying!  I thank them both sincerely for the gift which keeps on giving 🙂

And so I have evolved into an outdoor swimmer.  It makes me feel intensely alive and ready to cope with anything.

I started in earnest last summer.  Went through my first winter, ’skins’ swimming in the sea – well, dipping rather than swimming really! And I have found a lake not too far from home for lovely fresh water swims.  Nowadays I choose holiday destinations which give me chances to try new rivers, lakes, beaches.
