Well done BGB
you can leave the naughty chair now, and have one of the special lollies.

I'm okay thanks, what did you get up to over the weekend?

Cheers
I was rather pleased at just how long I could swim for, and my family were rather unflatteringly amazed

How long did you manage?
You should be proud of yourself

I swam about 300 metres out into the sea
then swam back. And that was a minute after the first time I've been swimming in at least two or three years

That's really impressive
Very pleased for you, well done!

Thanks!
Though I must admit part of it wasn't proper swimming. There were stretches of floating and sculling involved

If I tried to swim 300m there'd be stretches of "fucking hell, this is difficult"
so that's fair enough. So what's next? White water rafting? Lion taming? Hang gliding?

swimming that far in the sea
is harder than in the pool as well.

impressive stuff.

Haha nothing quite that exciting
Actually I'm hoping to build my strength enough to start rowing again. I obviously won't be as good at it as I once was, but just being back doing it would be amazing
