Although 6 weeks in to my blog, I am actually counting this as lesson 2.

36 year old bloke learning to swim. The story of an adult trying to learn to swim in Scotland. Saturday, 11 August 2012. Back in the Pool. Since then I have been unable to perform anything but the very gentlest upper body work outs, or ironing as I like to call it, so I have a wobbly upper half. Nice! I have therefore been doing nothing other than running. Half marathons, hill races, hilly half marathons that sort of thing and 2 weeks ago my first marathon which was quite hilly also. Lovely. I have toyed...

36 year old bloke learning to swim. The story of an adult trying to learn to swim in Scotland. Wednesday, 12 October 2011. Not much to report. Didn't blog last week as I just totally flippered out and had a not so good session. Who thought flippers were a good idea for someone who can't swim? I am enjoying reading my Total Immersion book and watching my Total Immersion DVDs however when I get back into the pool nothing has changed. Back in the pool tonight. Who knows what may happen?

36 year old bloke learning to swim. The story of an adult trying to learn to swim in Scotland. Wednesday, 24 August 2011. Hurrah, back in the pool after quite a few weeks off with injury and illness. Just like starting all over again, again, again. A couple of splutters underwater at the deep end, I am well out of practice. So I need to try and put that into practice.

36 year old bloke learning to swim. The story of an adult trying to learn to swim in Scotland. Wednesday, 14 September 2011. 2 weeks ago I got a bit carried away after a 4.5 mile run. I was feeling great, feeling strong. I decided to top it up to 6 miles. Mistake! At 55 miles pop went the same calf that I tore in the pool 5/6 weeks earlier. So I have been sat at home feeling angry with myself for a couple of weeks. Today the leg was pain free so I decided to give the pool a try. I am glad I did. Down we ...

36 year old bloke learning to swim. The story of an adult trying to learn to swim in Scotland. Wednesday, 21 September 2011. I have been looking into Total Immersion this week, check it out: Total Immersion. Inspired by Aquamillie's brilliant blog, check it out: Aquamillie's blog. I'm thinking about a swimming cap too. Hmmm! Some sites I have been looking at that I found helpful this week are here:. Some good videos for very basic beginners techniques. Quick and simple. I found the blog a good read.
