Reply to: Not sure if I can go swimming again

Stupid cow, does a baby in nappys need to have swimming lessons?

Considering they spend 9 months "swimming" in amniotic fluid it's no wonder my son loved it when i took hom swimming from an early age

My friend is not stupid. Nor is she a cow. 0/2

The pools promote "Duckling" swimming classes for babies of 6 months, so they must expect the odd accident. As BP said, they have a natural ability at that age. A (different) friend got a great 'Nirvana' underwater shot of his baby who looked happy and relaxed to be half drowned for the photo op.

I reckon so. They love it.

In fact they have natural swimming ability that they lose after a few months.

Indeed, friend's baby had "an explosion" in the pool that was not contained by swim nappy and they had to get the whole swimming class out. She was mortified.

Did you ever see that TV show called "Unbreakable"?

no but saw the film, Bruce Willis was rubbish.

Its vile, my youngest's swimming lessons have been cancelled 3 times because the preceding class laid a log in the pool 3 times!

I had to google it - Unbreakable (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

looks good fun.

Just got back from swimming, I wondered why the toddler pool was so warm.

Wouldn't it be sort of like homeopathic wee? I mean half a pint in an Olympic size pool equates to about 1 part in 8 million, obviously we don't know how many 'parts' there are but I wouldn't worry.

I am still amazed at how little coverage the ultra triathletes get.

But then they get more coverage than the UKs most popular sport - fishing....

Throughout the summer channel 4 between 6-8am IM was on most weekends, arch to arc was on last week, IM is still re-running on the active channel and eurosport this weekend has replayed most of the olympics ..... must I do all the legwork Mr Pad

The adventure series is usually on in Q1 .....

Reason they dont show it is because we are usually fat middle aged men, ignored by their wives who cant quite afford a harley but end up spending twice as much on gels and lube

[BrilloPad]

That's like a fat middle aged nerd who hobbles to finish the Great North Run criticising Bolt for not being a proper runner

If he actually swam any sort of distance then fine. but he doesn't go far. Back in the good old days when I swam my iron man <following sentence removed in case the reader should slit their throat with boredom>

This is filthy.
Next they'll be saying it's OK to jizz in the pool

Wilmslow's friend seemed to think its okay.

Brillo - do you think that lake water is filtered or something (ha, it is through mother nature) .... and how do you warm yourself up in your wetsuit .....

have you gone soft or just forgotten

I have heard that lake water gets filtered by rats - they take in dirty water and wee out sterile stuff.

How dare you call me soft! I can repair my own punctures you know! Actually maybe you have a point...

How do you warm yourself up in your wetsuit? Think carefully before you answer - a few of the guys lurking here like to think about sexy chicks peeing in wetsuits. And I am still waiting for you to tell me about convent school discipline.

Actually maybe I should be careful what I say. I guess you are going to midnightman next year and will get your revenge?

Michael Phelps was right &ndash; relieving yourself in the pool is fine - Telegraph
