WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

SPLISH SPLOSH! Gail gave approval to my taking this short video of her swimming against the deep current of the River Dee - all her effort is into staying more or less on the spot... which equates to running on a gym mill, methinks! Beside me, Nobby had a dook then shake (forgive the slightly dizzying movement as I attempted to spin around without landing a full flop into the water myself!)

  3. Thank you. The video confirmed what I already sort of knew - I don't lift my left arm high enough when doing front crawl and the leg action is inconsistent. (That's what comes of teaching yourself the stroke using a book from Brixton library in your late twenties!)
    Cheers! Gail.

      ... you see training video... I see gratitude I didn't have to throw that branch out to drag you back to shore! The video shows up the strength of the current even more than was obvious at the time. Your stroke served you just fine!!! Yxx

  4. Are you two coaching Gail up to a triathlon? She cycles, took up running the chase Nobby around his agility course and now the pair of you (your goodself and Nobby) are overseeing the swimming component.

  8. Gail is a great swimmer, I can't swim because I will not put my face in the water. there are many here who have pools that are only about 10 feet long and when turned on, they swim against the current like Gail is doing but never move.. if we had a ton of money we would get one for bob. my favorite today is the mega close up of the great Nobby

  11. Gail sure had to work hard just to stay in one place! We like Tigger's Mum asking if Gail is preparing for a try at a triathlon in the future. BOL!

  13. Swimming against 'weak' current is great exercise (not against strong current)! Well done! Lift that left elbow a bit more. :D
