Monday evening 30th July Kanga! Hence the thread subtitle :0)

(although secretly I admit I missed it at first glance)

Plum

Now if I come then there is no competition for the crappest swimmer

I am sorely tempted

I beg to differ Plum, I beg to differ.

Plum

Is it worth looking at a group training session?

Plum

Oh dear Bassy ....................... you have noooooo idea, you really dont.

bassy -- annoying people since 1967

Now theres a thought! Do they do a complete morons session for me?

All joking apart if there are enough of us crap swimmers(no insult to anyone!) like Ratty, myself, and you plum (no offence!) maybe it would be worth doing?

I really am rubbish

Shiraz and I might be there doing a mega session (and some swimming).

The showers are lovely... and the burgers are OK too.

I think I am going to be down as a definite maybe, maybe we can chat about a group training session once we have decided the outcome of the crappest swimmer competition

Ratbag

I think a group training session would be a great idea...then we could get the official word on who is the crappest swimmer!!!

But actually, I would definitely be up for booking a session...we could check it out on 30th and then book it..

takers??

competitive crap swimming!

How cool!

Ratbag

Soooo....

who wants to have a training session?

bassy -- annoying people since 1967

I would def be up for a group session. The only thing that has put me off getting proper lessons to date is the cost. By splitting it several ways would be good for me

Ratbag

OK...so maybe a short list...I think a group consists of no ore than 6 people

FOG...why have you volunteered Plummy?

Do you want to join us too?

Firestar

It's OK RB, they know each other pretty well. I would even say intimately.

Ratbag

As in??? dah dah daaaaaaaahhhh!!!!

The same person???

Ratbag

BTW FS are you on for a group session?

Firestar

No thanks. I've done workshops and stuff like that before and it isn't really of much use for me. They tend to give some very general advice and I am enthusiastic about trying to do it for a couple of weeks and then I feel like nothing is changing and I cant check with someone else and so I get depsondent and give up. I need to tweak my stroke and then practice it lots and lots to get faster. The best thing was some weekly one-to-one session I had back in the autumn but they were too expensive for me to keep up at £50 a pop. I'm an average-slow swimmer but I can go on for ever pretty much.

Come up to Warwick uni with me, its free )

Mark's also an excellent coach.

Plum

........ Come up to Warwick uni with me, its free )

apart from a million pounds in train fares and a whole day getting there on the lovely chiltern stagecoach. Though he is a good coach, it would be cheaper to bring him down south and put him up in a hotel for the weekend

Plum

............ now there is an idea

I think Shiraz and I will be there next Monday - 23rd. If we go, then we'll be swimming at least 5k... then having a burger.

Just thought you'd want to know that.

Ratbag

Thanks...I will be on my way back from the Lake District...

I don't think I could swim 5k anyway but thanks for sharing that....
