    WJAT??????

    Breaststroke is the easiest for me, because it was the first one I learned and the one I represented Yorkshire at in my youth!!!

    I'm impressed Mark. Wouldn't have guessed you were a swimmer.

    Breast stroke for me too. Always hated the crawl and butterfly as a kid when I used to swim quite a bit.

    Why? I have the body shape of a Blue whale!!!

    It was a long long time ago mate. Held a few records for my age groups, then I broke my ankle in several places and I never regained my speed.

    Is it possible to forget how to swim? I haven't been in a body of water large enough to swim in for about ten years.

    I only used to go in the wave pool at the Metrodome, was quite hard to get a rhythm going in there!

    Used to be breast stroke

    Haven't donned a pair of budgie smugglers since my gut started to go west (and north, east and south).

    Re: Used to be breast stroke

    Have I stumble onto a teenage girl's chat room?
    Bloody hell, roll on Saturday and football. And while we're at it, can we legalise the two footed tackle? And bring back National Service?
    He'll be on about his teddy bear next!
