Water babies

I don't find the need to get in it but I must be able to see it,even if it is only nextdoor's swimming pool. I also like being on it and we had a narrowboat for over 20 years

I enjoy swimming but indoor pool and sea are different experiences. I learned to swim in the sea and as a child was at the beach daily for 3 years so it is always a real pleasure to swim in the sea... used to skinny dip but not now

Just got back from my health club , it was great , seems to have kicked off a bit round here, a shame .

I live by the sea, but it's just too cold for a swim to be enjoyable. Instead I swim in the pool at a local hotel and even there I sometimes find the water is too cool. I'm a water wuss I'm afraid.

I am one of those who is happiest in or around water. If I go near the sea I want to be in it and can never resist paddling/swimming even if its freezing. Swimming in the river or sea is my favourite place to swim but twice a week in the local pool is what I have to settle for usually. Of course I'm not looking my best in a swimsuit anymore but the love of swimming/water overcomes the sight of my saggy wobbly bits in a cossie.
I don't know what it is although I am a Cancerian a water sign I love to just sit and watch and listen to the waves on the beach or even just watch the current on a river It makes me feel peaceful and happy and relaxed.

I love water but I'm scared of losing my glasses so I'm just a paddler now.

Going in the sea again today!Its better than any massage and best of all it's free

If DD sees water she is in it. As a small child, despite constant supervision, she was continually falling in it and even in her late 30s can disappear into the sea for hours at a time and swims many miles a week at her local pools. She prefers the local lido, when open to a covere pool.

I love swimming, but having spent part of my childhood in the far east, where I learnt to swim, I like the water warm. Love the local indoor pool but stayed resolutely on the beach on a recent holiday in France when DD & DH were cavorting in the (freezing, to me) sea.

GD, aged 5 takes after, well takes after her aunt, and loves the water. Small brother aged 2 can take it or leave it and on balance would prefer to leave it.

I do like swimming , must admit , in fact going to my health club this afternoon for some laps
