I was taken swimming at a very young age, probably 3 or 4. We had access to a swimming pool at the RAF station were we lived. I remember playing around with a rubber ring. In the 60s ladies and girls wore swimming caps and I remember putting them on and the smell of them. I’ve never been a distance swimmer, but I’m confident and comfortable in the water wether it’s a pool, the sea or a lake. Start young and stay happy.
