Sunday, 26 September 2010

...well not really - but it was great to be only minutes from the venue!

Here is the medal awarded at the end of the swim - yes!! we made it!

And here are some happy people who have just had a workout to Lady Gaga before entering the water to Oasis Roll With It - fantastic!!

Book us in for next year - wonderful course! And take a peep in the Manchester Evening News tomorrow!!

This summer I went swimming

This summer I might have drowned

But I held my breath

I kicked my feet

I moved my arms around

This summer I swam in the ocean

And I swam in a swimming pool

Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes

I'm a self-destructive fool

Self-destructive fool

This summer I did the backstroke

And you know that that's not all

I did the breaststroke, the butterfly

And the old Australian crawl

The old Australian crawl

This summer I swam in a public place

And a reservoir to boot

At the latter I was informal

At the former I wore my suit

I wore my swimming suit

Oh, this summer I did swan dives

And jack knives for you all

And once when you weren't looking

I did a cannon ball

This summer I went swimming

This summer I might have drowned

But I held my breath, I kicked my feet

And moved my arms around

I moved my arms around
