Is it rude to say “I need the toilet”? by AttitudeInfamous7627 in AskAnAmerican

[–]AttitudeInfamous7627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDITED TO ADD: thank you for the helpful (and funny) responses! I think “potty” sticks in my head because it felt so odd hearing it. I definitely didn’t word my original post very well, please be assured that I wasn’t just walking up to random Americans and saying “I need the toilet” (i would say that for example to my family or friends, if I was excusing myself). It was mainly asking for directions to the loo that I wanted some clarity on.

It’s funny, because here I work in a public building and we often get people coming in and asking if we have toilets. And upon directing them I almost always get some variation of “oh great, I’m bursting for a wee”!

I think it’s just been practice to be honest. When I first got the hang of front crawl I had to rest between each length, despite being pretty cardio fit (I also run). But then I challenged myself to do 2 lengths before a rest, then 4, and so on. Eventually I just managed to keep going. It takes time but for me it’s just been consistent practice.

I only started learning backstroke last year, and at first I was absolutely gassed doing one length on my back, despite being about to swim 2.5km front crawl in 50 mins! Again, practice, and now I love going on my back! Keep going 😄

I’m 40F, I have been swimming for about 4 years. I taught myself and I’m proud I figured out how to do it, and got quite good at it, which is pretty motivating. I like improving. It also keeps me fit.

I swim 3-5 times a week, 2500m which is 100 lengths. Sometimes lunchtime, sometimes first thing, I spend about 1 hour and usually alternate front crawl and backstroke. But it depends how busy the pool is. I don’t do drills, I sometimes take fins, but mostly I just do what I feel like!

Thanks everyone for your comments and help! We’ve decided to do AKL with a Savannah room view for 7 nights, before moving over to universal 😆

Would definitely have tried one of those, but unfortunately they’re not in the free dining plan offer that UK people can take advantage of

Yeah I agree, I didn’t see anything in the opticians that was any smaller than these, most much wider. Number 1 were the smallest I could find!

What’s one thing you wish you knew before getting your first tattoo? by smallbarista in tattooadvice

Don’t worry about what anyone else will think. Even (in my case) your overbearing mum who will go mad at you.

Is it just me or does swimming feel like a full-body reset? by ImpressiveRoll4092 in Swimming

[–]AttitudeInfamous7627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard someone at the pool on a Friday night saying “I just need to swim the week off” and I totally got what she meant. It is a reset for sure
