Do you regularly go for a swim in summer?

Alas and alack!
Having been a swimmer all my life, I have finally stopped.
I no longer have a pool as stopped using it preferring to be in the air conditioning and after having a melanoma on my face.

I used to swim day and night and now i feel a bit embarrassed at the shape of me so do not like to be seen in bathers -having crushed a vertebrae in my back, I am very self conscious of my not straight back as I feel everyone can see it!

So, very rarely do I now swim in any weather. It has been about 3 years since I went on a cruise.

I am not, nor have I ever been a swimmer!!! I have the most ridiculous fear of water ever since havuing almost drowned when I was aboutv 7 down at Wilson's Promontory!! Despite trying many times to learn this wonderful activity, I have failed dismally every time, so I prefer to just not go throuh the trauma any more!!!

Yep, I gave up trying to learn after many attempts when I realised that it was more like persecution than education. That fear of water will not be banished :(

I go swimming every second day, whether it is Summer or Winter, Autumn or Spring. We also do water aerobics once a week. This is the one sport we both enjoy.

I have not been in the water for a while. I must do it soon its been too long. Plus the family have been clamouring for it.

I was a fish when younger, and lived 5 mins from the beach...Swimming is a wonderful activity.

LOVE it.

But Have not been swimming for maybe 8 months, and I found that as much as I do love it, as one gets older.... I am not as quick.

This time next year if I am better in health, I feel I need to take it up again.

Oh hell no.

I am with you ALL the way!!!! I have so many things which I do enjoy, that I can happily live without this activity which I dislike intensely!!

I rarely ever go swimming. I used to love swimming as a child but as I got older I stopped and now will only go swimming if I can keep my head above water.
