18 months ago I was a fat, dumpy 47 year old going into her first ever adult swimming lesson, unable to swim a stroke.

Today i’m Still a fat dumpy 48 year old who swum 100 25 metre lengths this afternoon in the Swimathon, raising around £400 in sponsorship money.

Tonight when my husband and children take me out for dinner, for once i’ll Feel I actually deserve my wine.

Totally wear it. That is amazing. I can knock out 32 lengths (1/2 a mile) in just under 30 mins - to repeat that twice and then some, keeping at that speed pickles my head. Really well done, OP.

Yes, that's brilliant! You've achieved so much in such a short space of time. Adults often take longer to learn due to over thinking.
