In The Absence OF Gravity

Well, better late than never. Last week I finally put one of my New Years resolutions into practice and started visiting the swimming pool once a week.
Now the purpose of this wasn’t to learn how to swim, rather to improve my relatively poor swimming technique. Also, I needed to teach myself how to tread water. (for those unfamiliar with this phrase, that’s staying in the same place without going under and subsequently drowning.)

Happily for me, the implementation of this aim to thread water is working. I feel my breathing improving and my swimming stroke becoming quite refined, or so other people tell me.

With this under way, that leaves two of my resolutions left, (as many of you know, I keep a Diary and each year I give myself three things to do, attempt or overcome) and while one is an ongoing thing about my personal outlook, the other I intend to start in June. So watch this space and hopefully the idea of the New Years resolution as, broken promises of an unachievable idealism, will be shattered.

Hopefully, in the dead silence of an empty swimming pool and in the absence of gravity, a promise to try shall prevail.
