Hello,I swim 3 or 4 times a week doing usually 30 lengths each day and wondered if there are any fellow swimmers out there?

Hi. I am joining you, if I may. I am feeling fat and rubbish, as I haven't been able to do any exercise since august, due to a bad back, but I have got to do something, as I am struggling to fit into my clothes.

I started swimming again last week, and am planning to swim at least twice a week, probably 30 lengths at a time.

A swimming buddy would be good!

Hello aristocat

Just you and me then?! I swim 3 times a week, usually do a mile and a half (about 100 lengths of our pool), am trying to get into running as well but just LOVE the swimming. Do you have an aquabeat? Best thing for swimmers ever.

I can crawl, but tend to do (proper) breaststroke instead as my lats and shoulders are quite big anyway! What is your stroke? Are you swimming for any purpose (fitness, weight, in training for event etc) or do you just love it? I find the swim keeps the weight down and the arms and legs trim. Stomach taken a pounding with the festive wine but 3 days of upset tum seem to have got rid of that! Hurray!

Look forward to talking chlorine with you.
