jackPS#1. What I do need is to recall a little technique. I never *did* like getting water on my eyes or nose, so I tend to revert to inefficient face-out-of-the-water versions :) By far the most pleasant (if not very efficient) was backstroke, being essentially lying down and going at whatever speed I liked.
PS#2. *hugs* Thanks to everyone who pointed out that that I'd actually swum reasonably far. When Dad and I were in practice we used to think 1km (40 lengths) was a decent session and 1m (64 lengths) a good session, and in retrospect I probably never found it easy, so in fact I was actually nearly as good as I ever was. We used to get through it by finding synonyms for each number and calling out as we went past :)
PS#3. I was examining the parkside timetable (here) and gave up in disgust. It's partitioned into "swim for all" "splash happy" "splash fitness" and orthogonally into "(laned)", "()" or "(disco)" with a coloured key, but it doesn't actually *say* what it means. I *infer* that it refers to the sorts of swimming that are permitted/encouraged, but it *sounds* like it means "leisure club members" and "kids". Does anyone know what it *does* mean?
