Forgt my goggles so I can't practise 'proper' swimming, nor do underwater swimming which I always enjoy. I do a mixture of strokes including an old favourite, a sort of side-stroke that I taught myself years ago - its a slow but very comfortable way to swim with your head above water. I also do backstroke and a splashy front crawl with my head up, so it's rather ungainly* but covers the distance.
20 lengths of 25m = 500 so that's another 1/2 km and as well I do a further 2 lengths to cover the odd 50m .
(not 5m as I mistakenly put in my previous post).
*Wondering if a swimming stroke can be ungainly: not sure of the derivation: it's from gegn (O.E) apparently, meaning 'straight', so actually my backstroke is far more ungainly than my front crawl, however splashy the latter!
Enough with the Anglo-Saxon. What I want to know is whether your side-stroke is dextrous or sinister.
