Hi Marty, Just got back from 6-week holiday on the beach. After reading, and re-reading WITW I moved from needing to stay within my depth, to being able to swim a mile, (with flippers) any depth. Also using my new found water wings, to play with 'New Code ideas' by creating games that involve throwing a ball to a partner, whilst in deep(ish) water. After some experimentation achieved excellent results. Also had lots of fun examining waves from underwater, swimming in shoals of fish etc :-))) Stephen P.S. My wife who accompanied me on this holiday is a strong swimmer ;-))
