Swimming again

[Sparklesmith]

I too am back in the swimming pool after not having swum for years .

Really enjoying it actually and it feels good to belong to a “gym”!

I have achieved 40 lengths already (which is over half a mile ) so I’m pretty pleased with myself !

Hi Sparklesmith.Glad you enjoyed your swim. I wish I could have joined you .I used to live on Haying Island and in my 20s was capable of swimming many miles in the Solent most days.So it camesuffer às a shock when first diagnosed with PD that all I did was sink I've been on several courses but ño good I just sink. I have no fear of water and can cross the Pool. under water Hope you never suffer like this Mike

40 lengths, that’s impressive well done 👏👍 Welcone to Active 10 forum. I am also thinking of getting back in the pool. No local public pool though so need to investigate a couple of others - one at a holiday park and another at a school. There is also Aquafit classes which I am thinking of trying 👍😊 Keep us posted with how you are going 😊
