Paddled- yes, tried canoeing once, but hmmm 🤨 not so sure about swimming since Jaws - plus there’s all the pollution now.

As a child I was always in the sea as we lived near it. I still love it but, for some reason, as I am old now I just find it too cold.

We always went swimming in the sea. It was the highlight of any holiday, no matter what the weather. My Dad was a good swimmer but my Mum couldn't swim. Nonetheless she would don a costume and splash around. We didn't do anything as exotic as canoeing though mrsgreenfingers!

Chatting with a friend recently about childhood holidays. Went with their family to the Lincolnshire coast for many years but told me never went swimming. I was amazed as my family holidays in Wales at the coast we were never out of the sea, swimming, canoeing, splashing, paddling and having a great time (loved to squeal at the cold water!)

Anyone else never swam in the UK?
