It started as an ordinary swim ...

Well almost. i cleaned out the filterbox before i hopped in, and as i was doing it i noticed the brick that Mum uses to help her get up and down when she does it. So, i thought to myself .. how difficult could it be to swim with a brick.

It's very difficult. i sunk. More than once too, lol. First i tried balancing it on the small of my back. That lasted until i started moving, it fell. Then i tried swimming with it in my hands and just kicking. That saw me hit the bottom of the pool a few times. Well, okay, more than a few times.

i did sidestroke for a while and held it in one hand and then the other. i did manage to balance it for a few laps with it lengthwise on my back. i did a few laps with it in one hand and the other hand stroking .. not stroking there! i was too busy trying to keep my head above water to do anything naughty lol.

i did a few laps with it on my tummy and me swimming on my back. That was okay so long as my hands were by my sides helping me to stay afloat, as soon as i tried to do any proper backstroke i went under.

i never knew just how hard it would be to swim with a brick. 45 mins had my arms and legs buggered.

i must do it again one day.
