Giles's Swim for Charity
-
Approx £1,500 over the week end. Amazing. Thank you so much to those of you who have dug deep thus far…..
Tonight I go and start practicing at no-stopping. Goal, is a mile with no stops by the time I go to Japan in mid May.
We started to get a little professional (at spending, that is), we bought me a swimming specific wetsuit. We decided to get a cheap one and up-spec if I need to nearer the swim....

Hey Giles,
You can never have enough googles, I swear by these and I have rinsed though a great many pairs:

That link had me looking at ladies in swim suits… I suddenly thought of Giles in this'un
... and well there went my appetite... Although he might pull it off in black...

Can you swim? Can you teach?
I'm happy to help you if I can Giles. I have quite a lot of swim experience, have taught a bit too. Have you looked into this yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Immersion - its the technique du jour, I find it quite frustrating as it is quite measured and slow but it might suit you well (i.e.: long distance). I come from water polo roots so I have a more brutalist style.

great goal & cause G$.
now when you are sweet talking the lady you can really say & mean you would swim across the _______ for her love

Cost me £18 to be told I was crap…..
That doesn't seem very cost effective. Paula probably tells you that daily for free.

I await a call from Alex, when it happens I will meet him at a local marina and float around in my new wetsuit - step one in cold acclimatisation. For obvious reasons people are not allowed into the water in our marinas. But, if I go as "part" of the dive team who have permission, I'm OK
