Two Sink Three Float

Not long back from seeing Two Sink Three Float in St Peter Basin at Salford Quays.
Part of the Urban Moves dance festival here in Manchester. Don't miss it if it's at a festival near you.
Tonight - thanks to the heavens opening - we went home as wet as the dancers. And happy!

Looks fascinating. I tend to get squeamish about ingesting "wild water". Watching them move underwater makes me think perhaps I shouldn't be such a "wuss"!

Swimming Song

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
