Hi All,
A colleague seeking volunteers for this event got a wise crack reply from me , about ...would like to help out BUT... as I need to use flippers (fins) and snorkel (without which I swim like a boulder) I guess this naturally disqualifies me from entering. NOT so it seems and so here I am seeking sponsorship (doesn't matter how little, as it all adds up) in helping this great cause. My swim colleagues say that my style mirrors that of a large barge chugging through the water and kicking up a bow wave you could surf on. I never find swimming easy. It's a chore, actually it's more like slow more >>
