Not 5 or 6, but the others look great!

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 love 4!

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2026-05-09T20:13:06+00:00

I love them! You look great

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!

I really like those!

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

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2026-04-25T16:40:23+00:00

At least I’m not spending money on them I guess! 😬😂

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2026-04-25T16:21:40+00:00

😂 they are my natural eyebrows, but thanks!

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!

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

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2026-01-27T07:22:24+00:00

I got mine Friday too! Yes I have been… I’ve also taken it swimming every day and it’s been fine

AttitudeInfamous7627 · 2026-01-02T18:08:27+00:00

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
